/proc/(PID)/maps (access permissions)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I want to know about /proc/<PID>/maps.
Whenever I looked at /proc/maps, it is mapping as many types of access
permissions.

 For example:
 /bin/cat => r-wp and rw-p access permissions
/lib64/ld-2.14.so => r-wp, r-xp and some  access permissions)

Why does it need to map some permissions? ( in my opinion,as it maps
into VM space, it just needs write permission...)

Thanks


$ cat /proc/self/maps
