+<h2>mach_port_get_attributes</h2>
+<hr>
+<p>
+<strong>Function</strong> - Return information about target port as specified by the caller.
+<h3>SYNOPSIS</h3>
+<pre>
+<strong>kern_return_t mach_port_get_attributes</strong>
+ <strong>(ipc_space_t</strong> <var>task</var>,
+ <strong>mach_port_name_t</strong> <var>name</var>,
+ <strong>mach_port_flavor_t</strong> <var>flavor</var>,
+ <strong>mach_port_info_t</strong> <var>port_info</var>,
+ <strong>mach_msg_type_number_t</strong> <var>*port_info_count</var><strong>);</strong>
+</pre>
+<h3>PARAMETERS</h3>
+<dl>
+<p>
+<dt> <var>task</var>
+<dd>
+[in task send right]
+The task holding a receive right to the port in
+question.
+<p>
+<dt> <var>name</var>
+<dd>
+[in scalar]
+<var>task</var>'s name for the port.
+<p>
+<dt> <var>flavor</var>
+<dd>
+[in scalar]
+The type of information to be returned. Valid values are:
+<dl>
+<p>
+<dt> <strong>MACH_PORT_LIMITS_INFO</strong>
+<dd>
+Returns the resource limits for the port. The declaration of
+this data is found in structure <strong>mach_port_limits</strong>.
+<p>
+<dt> <strong>MACH_PORT_RECEIVE_STATUS</strong>
+<dd>
+Returns random information about the rights and messages
+associated with the port. The declaration of this data is found in
+structure <strong>mach_port_status</strong>.
+</dl>
+<p>
+<dt> <var>port_info</var>
+<dd>
+[out structure]
+Information about the specified port.
+<p>
+<dt> <var>port_info_count</var>
+<dd>
+[in/out scalar]
+On input, the maximum size of the buffer; on output, the
+size returned (in natural-sized units).
+</dl>
+<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
+<p>
+The <strong>mach_port_get_attributes</strong> function returns an information
+structure of type <var>flavor</var>.
+<h3>NOTES</h3>
+<p>
+This interface is machine word length specific because of the port name
+parameter in the <strong>MACH_PORT_RECEIVE_STATUS</strong> structure return.
+<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
+<dl>
+<p>
+<dt> <strong>KERN_INVALID_NAME</strong>
+<dd>
+<var>name</var> did not denote a right.
+<p>
+<dt> <strong>KERN_INVALID_RIGHT</strong>
+<dd>
+<var>name</var> denoted a right, but not a receive right.
+</dl>
