50 <para>Unmaps a previously with the &func-mmap; function mapped
51 buffer and frees it, if possible. <!-- ? This function (not freeing)
52 has no impact on I/O in progress, specifically it does not imply
53 &VIDIOC-STREAMOFF; to terminate I/O. Unmapped buffers can still be
54 enqueued, dequeued or queried, they are just not accessible by the
55 application.--></para>
59 <title>Return Value</title>
61 <para>On success <function>munmap()</function> returns 0, on
62 failure -1 and the <varname>errno</varname> variable is set

69 <para>The <parameter>start</parameter> or
70 <parameter>length</parameter> is incorrect, or no buffers have been
