 .Sh DESCRIPTION
 The
 .Fn mprotect
 system call
 changes the specified pages to have protection
 .Fa prot .
-Not all implementations will guarantee protection on a page basis;
-the granularity of protection changes may be as large as an entire region.
+Not all implementations will guarantee protection on a page basis but Mac OS X's
+current implementation does.
+.Pp
+When a program violates the protections of a page, it gets a SIGBUS or SIGSEGV signal. 
+.Pp
+Currently
+.Fa prot
+can be one or more of the following:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width ".Dv PROT_WRITE" -compact
+.It Dv PROT_NONE
+No permissions at all.
+.It Dv PROT_READ
+The pages can be read.
+.It Dv PROT_WRITE
+The pages can be written.
+.It Dv PROT_EXEC
+The pages can be executed.
+.El

+.\" Insufficient memory resources exist to allow locking a private page
+.\" under PROT_WRITE.
