       int

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.

RETURN VALUES

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

ERRORS
       The munmap() system call	will fail if:

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