28<dd>
29The maximum protection allowed for the region.
30<p>
31<dt> <var>inheritance</var>
32<dd>
33The inheritance attribute for the region.
34<p>
35<dt> <var>shared</var>
36<dd>
37Shared indicator. If true, the region is shared by another task. If false,

42If true the region is protected from random allocation.
43<p>
44<dt> <var>offset</var>
45<dd>
46The region's offset into the memory object. The region begins at this
47offset.
48<p>
49<dt> <var>behavior</var>
50<dd>
51Expected reference pattern for the memory. Valid values are:
52<dl>
53<p>
54<dt> <strong>VM_BEHAVIOR_DEFAULT</strong>
55<dd>
56The system's default behavior.
57<p>
58<dt> <strong>VM_BEHAVIOR_RANDOM</strong>
59<dd>
60No particular order expected.
61<p>
62<dt> <strong>VM_BEHAVIOR_SEQUENTIAL</strong>
63<dd>
64Forward sequential order.
65<p>
