+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is the library interface intended to provide page oriented buffer
+management of files.
+The buffers may be shared between processes.
+.Pp
+The function
+.Fn mpool_open
+initializes a memory pool.
+The
+.Fa key
+argument is the byte string used to negotiate between multiple
+processes wishing to share buffers.
+If the file buffers are mapped in shared memory, all processes using
+the same key will share the buffers.
+If
+.Fa key
+is
+.Dv NULL ,
+the buffers are mapped into private memory.
+The
+.Fa fd
+argument is a file descriptor for the underlying file, which must be
+seekable.
+If
+.Fa key
+is
+.No non- Ns Dv NULL
+and matches a file already being mapped, the
+.Fa fd
+argument is ignored.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa pagesize
+argument is the size, in bytes, of the pages into which the file is
+broken up.
+The
+.Fa maxcache
+argument is the maximum number of pages from the underlying file to
+cache at any one time.
+This value is not relative to the number of processes which share a
+file's buffers, but will be the largest value specified by any of the
+processes sharing the file.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn mpool_filter
+function is intended to make transparent input and output processing
+of the pages possible.
+If the
+.Fa pgin
+function is specified, it is called each time a buffer is read into
+the memory pool from the backing file.
+If the
+.Fa pgout
+function is specified, it is called each time a buffer is written into
+the backing file.
+Both functions are called with the
+.Fa pgcookie
+pointer, the page number and a pointer to the page to being read or
+written.
+.Pp
+The function
+.Fn mpool_new
+takes an MPOOL pointer and an address as arguments.
+If a new page can be allocated, a pointer to the page is returned and
+the page number is stored into the
+.Fa pgnoaddr
+address.
+Otherwise,
+.Dv NULL
+is returned and errno is set.
+.Pp
+The function
+.Fn mpool_get
+takes a MPOOL pointer and a page number as arguments.
+If the page exists, a pointer to the page is returned.
+Otherwise,
+.Dv NULL
+is returned and errno is set.
+The flags parameter is not currently used.
+.Pp
+The function
+.Fn mpool_put
+unpins the page referenced by
+.Fa pgaddr .
+.Fa pgaddr
+must be an address previously returned by
+.Fn mpool_get
+or
+.Fn mpool_new .
+The flag value is specified by or'ing any of the following values:
+.Bl -tag -width MPOOL_DIRTYX -offset indent
+.It Dv MPOOL_DIRTY
+The page has been modified and needs to be written to the backing
+file.
+.El
+.Pp
+.Fn mpool_put
+returns 0 on success and \-1 if an error occurs.
+.Pp
+The function
+.Fn mpool_sync
+writes all modified pages associated with the MPOOL pointer to the
+backing file.
+.Fn mpool_sync
+returns 0 on success and \-1 if an error occurs.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn mpool_close
+function frees up any allocated memory associated with the memory pool
+cookie.
+Modified pages are
+.Em not
+written to the backing file.
+.Fn mpool_close
+returns 0 on success and \-1 if an error occurs.
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn mpool_open
+function may fail and set
+.Va errno
+for any of the errors specified for the library routine
+.Xr malloc 3 .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn mpool_get
+function may fail and set
+.Va errno
+for the following:
+.Bl -tag -width Er -offset indent
+.It Er EINVAL
+The requested record doesn't exist.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn mpool_new
+and
+.Fn mpool_get
+functions may fail and set
+.Va errno
+for any of the errors specified for the library routines
+.Xr read 2 ,
+.Xr write 2 ,
+and
+.Xr malloc 3 .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn mpool_sync
+function may fail and set
+.Va errno
+for any of the errors specified for the library routine
+.Xr write 2 .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn mpool_close
+function may fail and set
+.Va errno
+for any of the errors specified for the library routine
