This must be the same value as given to + :ref:`mmap() <func-mmap>` and returned by the driver in the struct + :c:type:`v4l2_buffer` ``length`` field for the + single-planar API and in the struct + :c:type:`v4l2_plane` ``length`` field for the + multi-planar API. + + +Description +=========== + +Unmaps a previously with the :ref:`mmap() <func-mmap>` function mapped +buffer and frees it, if possible. + + +Return Value +============ + +On success :ref:`munmap() <func-munmap>` returns 0, on failure -1 and the +``errno`` variable is set appropriately: + +EINVAL + The ``start`` or ``length`` is incorrect, or no buffers have been + mapped yet. |
