+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This is probably not the system call that you are interested in; instead, see
+.BR mmap (2),
+which describes the glibc wrapper function that invokes this system call.
+.PP
+The
+.BR mmap2 ()
+system call provides the same interface as
+.BR mmap (2),
+except that the final argument specifies the offset into the
+file in 4096-byte units (instead of bytes, as is done by
+.BR mmap (2)).
+This enables applications that use a 32-bit
+.I off_t
+to map large files (up to 2\[ha]44 bytes).
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success,
+.BR mmap2 ()
+returns a pointer to the mapped area.
+On error, \-1 is returned and
+.I errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B EFAULT
+Problem with getting the data from user space.
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+(Various platforms where the page size is not 4096 bytes.)
+.I "offset\ *\ 4096"
+is not a multiple of the system page size.
+.PP
+.BR mmap2 ()
+can also return any of the errors described in
+.BR mmap (2).
+.SH VERSIONS
+On architectures where this system call is present,
+the glibc
+.BR mmap ()
+wrapper function invokes this system call rather than the
+.BR mmap (2)
+system call.
+.PP
+This system call does not exist on x86-64.
+.PP
+On ia64, the unit for
+.I offset
+is actually the system page size, rather than 4096 bytes.
+.\" ia64 can have page sizes ranging from 4 kB to 64 kB.
+.\" On cris, it looks like the unit might also be the page size,
+.\" which is 8192 bytes. -- mtk, June 2007

+Linux.
