31.Sh NAME
32.Nm pmap_unwire
33.Nd unwire a range of virtual pages
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.In sys/param.h
36.In vm/vm.h
37.In vm/pmap.h
38.Ft void
39.Fo pmap_unwire
40.Fa "pmap_t pmap" "vm_offset_t start" "vm_offset_t end"
41.Fc
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The function
44.Fn pmap_unwire
45removes the wired attribute from each of the virtual-to-physical page mappings
46within the virtual address range from
47.Fa start
48to
49.Fa end
50of the physical map
51.Fa pmap .
52Every valid mapping within that range is required to have the wired attribute
53set.
54Invalid mappings are ignored, since they cannot have the wired attribute set.
55.Sh NOTES
56Only the function
57.Xr pmap_enter 9
58can be used to set the wired attribute of a virtual-to-physical page mapping.
