<title>Description</title>
<para>Unmaps a previously with the &func-mmap; function mapped
buffer and frees it, if possible. <!-- ? This function (not freeing)
has no impact on I/O in progress, specifically it does not imply
&VIDIOC-STREAMOFF; to terminate I/O. Unmapped buffers can still be
enqueued, dequeued or queried, they are just not accessible by the
application.--></para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success <function>munmap()</function> returns 0, on
failure -1 and the <varname>errno</varname> variable is set
appropriately:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><errorcode>EINVAL</errorcode></term>
<listitem>
<para>The <parameter>start</parameter> or
<parameter>length</parameter> is incorrect, or no buffers have been
mapped yet.</para>
