If .Fa len is 0, all modified pages within the region containing .Fa addr will be flushed; if .Fa len is non-zero, only the pages containing .Fa addr and .Fa len succeeding locations will be examined. -Any required synchronization of memory caches -will also take place at this time. -Filesystem operations on a file that is mapped for shared modifications -are unpredictable except after an -.Fn msync . +The +.Fa flags +argument may be specified as follows: +.Bd -literal +MS_ASYNC Return immediately (not currently implemented) +MS_INVALIDATE Invalidate all cached data +.Ed +.Sh RETURN VALUES +If any errors occur, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the +error. Otherwise, a 0 value is returned. +.Sh ERRORS +.Fn msync +will fail if: +.Bl -tag -width Er +.It Bq Er EINVAL +.Fa addr +is not a multiple of the hardware page size. +.It Bq Er EINVAL +.Fa len +is too large or negative. +.It Bq Er EINVAL +.Fa flags +was both MS_ASYNC and MS_INVALIDATE. Only one of these flags is allowed. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr madvise 2 , .Xr munmap 2 , .Xr mprotect 2 , .Xr mincore 2 .Sh HISTORY The .Fn msync function first appeared in 4.4BSD.
