.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBrmalloc_wait()\fR function requests an allocation of space from a resource map. \fBrmalloc_wait()\fR is similar to the \fBrmalloc\fR(9F) function with the exception that it will wait for space to become available if necessary.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
The \fBrmalloc_wait()\fR function returns the base of the allocated space.
.SH CONTEXT
.sp
.LP
This function can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel context. However, in most cases \fBrmalloc_wait()\fR should not be called from interrupt context.
