+.Fn pmap_extract_and_hold "pmap_t pmap" "vm_offset_t va" "vm_prot_t prot"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn pmap_extract
+function maps a virtual address to a physical page.
+In certain situations, callers may use
+.Fn pmap_extract_and_hold
+instead, to ensure that the returned page is held.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn pmap_extract_and_hold
+function maps a virtual address to a physical page, and atomically holds
+the returned page for use by the caller, only if the mapping permits
+the given page protection.
+.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
+Currently, the page protection requested by the caller is not verified.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn pmap_extract
+function will return the physical page address associated with the
+virtual address
+.Fa va
+inside the physical map
+.Fa pmap .
+If the mapping does not exist, or if the
+.Fa pmap
+parameter is
+.Dv NULL ,
+then
+.Dv NULL
+will be returned.
