MUNLOCKALL(2)       Linux Programmer's Manual       MUNLOCKALL(2)

NAME
       munlockall - reenable paging for calling process

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/mman.h>

       int munlockall(void);

DESCRIPTION
       munlockall  reenables paging for all pages mapped into the
       address space of the calling process.

       Memory locks do not stack, i.e.,  pages  which  have  been
       locked several times by calls to mlock or mlockall will be
       unlocked by a single call to munlockall.  Pages which  are
       mapped  to  several locations or by several processes stay
       locked into RAM as long as they are locked at least at one
       location or by at least one process.

       On  POSIX  systems  on  which  mlockall and munlockall are
       available, _POSIX_MEMLOCK is defined in <unistd.h> .

RETURN VALUE
       On success, munlockall returns  zero.   On  error,  -1  is
       returned and errno is set appropriately.

CONFORMING TO
       POSIX.1b, SVr4
