munmap_device_memory()

Unmap previously mapped addresses

Synopsis:

#include <sys/mman.h>

int munmap_device_memory( void * addr,
                          size_t len );

Library:

libc

Description:

The munmap_device_memory() function is essentially the same as munmap(). It removes any mappings for pages in the address range starting at addr and continuing for len bytes, rounded up to the next multiple of the page size. Subsequent references to these pages cause a SIGSEGV signal to be set on the process.

If there are no mappings in the specified address range, then munmap() has no effect.

This function is the complement of mmap_device_memory().

Returns:

-1
An error occurred (errno is set).
Any other value
Success.

Errors:

EINVAL
The addresses in the specified range are outside the range allowed for the address space of a process.
ENOSYS
The munmap() function isn't supported by this implementation.

Classification:

QNX 6

Safety:
Cancellation point No
Interrupt handler No
Signal handler Yes
Thread Yes
