Function Documentation

sceKernelAllocPartitionMemory()

SceUID sceKernelAllocPartitionMemory	(	SceUID	partitionid,
		const char *	name,
		int	type,
		SceSize	size,
		void *	addr
	)

Allocate a memory block from a memory partition.

Parameters

partitionid	- The UID of the partition to allocate from.
name	- Name assigned to the new block.
type	- Specifies how the block is allocated within the partition. One of PspSysMemBlockTypes.
size	- Size of the memory block, in bytes.
addr	- If type is PSP_SMEM_Addr, then addr specifies the lowest address allocate the block from.

Returns

The UID of the new block, or if less than 0 an error.

sceKernelDevkitVersion()

int sceKernelDevkitVersion

(

void

)

Get the firmware version.

Returns

The firmware version. 0x01000300 on v1.00 unit, 0x01050001 on v1.50 unit, 0x01050100 on v1.51 unit, 0x01050200 on v1.52 unit, 0x02000010 on v2.00/v2.01 unit, 0x02050010 on v2.50 unit, 0x02060010 on v2.60 unit, 0x02070010 on v2.70 unit, 0x02070110 on v2.71 unit.

sceKernelFreePartitionMemory()

int sceKernelFreePartitionMemory

(

SceUID

blockid

)

Free a memory block allocated with sceKernelAllocPartitionMemory.

Parameters

blockid

- UID of the block to free.

Returns

? on success, less than 0 on error.

sceKernelGetBlockHeadAddr()

void * sceKernelGetBlockHeadAddr

(

SceUID

blockid

)

Get the address of a memory block.

Parameters

blockid

- UID of the memory block.

Returns

The lowest address belonging to the memory block.

sceKernelGetCompiledSdkVersion()

int sceKernelGetCompiledSdkVersion

(

void

)

Get the SDK version set with sceKernelSetCompiledSdkVersion().

Returns

Version number, or 0 if unset.

sceKernelMaxFreeMemSize()

SceSize sceKernelMaxFreeMemSize

(

void

)

Get the size of the largest free memory block.

Returns

The size of the largest free memory block, in bytes.

sceKernelSetCompiledSdkVersion()

int sceKernelSetCompiledSdkVersion

(

int

version

)

Set the version of the SDK with which the caller was compiled.

Version numbers are as for sceKernelDevkitVersion().

Returns

0 on success, < 0 on error.

sceKernelTotalFreeMemSize()

SceSize sceKernelTotalFreeMemSize

(

void

)

Get the total amount of free memory.

Returns

The total amount of free memory, in bytes.
