DESCRIPTION
     The munmap() system call deletes the mappings and guards for the speci-
     fied address range, and causes further references to addresses within the
     range to generate invalid memory references.

     value -1 is returned and the global variable errno	is set to indicate the
     error.

ERRORS

     [EINVAL]		The addr argument was not page aligned,	the len	argu-
			ment was zero or negative, or some part	of the region
			being unmapped is outside the valid address range for
			a process.
