24
25Arguments
26=========
27
28``start``
29    Address of the mapped buffer as returned by the
30    :c:func:`mmap()` function.
31
32``length``
33    Length of the mapped buffer. This must be the same value as given to
34    :c:func:`mmap()` and returned by the driver in the struct
35    :c:type:`v4l2_buffer` ``length`` field for the
36    single-planar API and in the struct
37    :c:type:`v4l2_plane` ``length`` field for the
38    multi-planar API.

40Description
41===========
42
43Unmaps a previously with the :c:func:`mmap()` function mapped
44buffer and frees it, if possible.
45
46Return Value
47============
48
49On success :c:func:`munmap()` returns 0, on failure -1 and the
50``errno`` variable is set appropriately:
51
52EINVAL
53    The ``start`` or ``length`` is incorrect, or no buffers have been
54    mapped yet.
