29.Sh NAME
30.Nm pmap_unwire
31.Nd unwire a range of virtual pages
32.Sh SYNOPSIS
33.In sys/param.h
34.In vm/vm.h
35.In vm/pmap.h
36.Ft void
37.Fo pmap_unwire
38.Fa "pmap_t pmap" "vm_offset_t start" "vm_offset_t end"
39.Fc
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The function
42.Fn pmap_unwire
43removes the wired attribute from each of the virtual-to-physical page mappings
44within the virtual address range from
45.Fa start
46to
47.Fa end
48of the physical map
49.Fa pmap .
50Every valid mapping within that range is required to have the wired attribute
51set.
52Invalid mappings are ignored, since they cannot have the wired attribute set.
53.Sh NOTES
54Only the function
55.Xr pmap_enter 9
56can be used to set the wired attribute of a virtual-to-physical page mapping.
