+========
+
+.. code-block:: c

+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``start``
+ Address of the mapped buffer as returned by the
+ :c:func:`mmap()` function.
+
+``length``
+ Length of the mapped buffer. This must be the same value as given to
+ :c:func:`mmap()`.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+Unmaps a previously with the :c:func:`mmap()` function mapped
+buffer and frees it, if possible.
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success :c:func:`munmap()` returns 0, on failure -1 and the
+``errno`` variable is set appropriately:
+
+EINVAL
+ The ``start`` or ``length`` is incorrect, or no buffers have been
+ mapped yet.
