already exists within the range.
+.It Dv MAP_GUARD
+Instead of a mapping, create a guard of the specified size.
+.Fa mmap
+will not create mappings in the address range of a guard unless

+.Dv MAP_FIXED .
+Guards can be destroyed with

+Any memory access to the guarded range results in the delivery of a

+Guards allow a process to create reservations in its address space, which
+can be replaced by the actual mappings later.
+For instance, the system uses guards to prevent the inadvertent use of
+regions into which stacks created with
+.Dv MAP_STACK
+will automatically grow, without mapping the whole stack in advance.
.It Dv MAP_HASSEMAPHORE
Notify the kernel that the region may contain semaphores and that special
handling may be necessary.
