MUNMAP(2) BSD Programmer's Manual MUNMAP(2)
munmap - remove a mapping
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
int
munmap(void *addr, size_t len);
The munmap() system call deletes the mappings for the specified address
range, and causes further references to addresses within the range to
generate invalid memory references.
Upon successful completion, munmap returns zero. Otherwise, a value of -1
is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
munmap() will fail if:
[EINVAL] The addr parameter was not page aligned, the len parameter
was negative, or some part of the region being unmapped is
not part of the currently valid address space.
