+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm msync
+.Nd synchronize a mapped region
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/mman.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn msync "void *addr" "size_t len" "int flags"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn msync
+system call writes all pages with shared modifications
+in the specified region starting from
+.Fa addr
+and continuing for
+.Fa len
+bytes.
+.Fa addr
+should be a multiple of the page size.
+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 .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa flags
+argument is the bitwise OR of zero or more of the following values:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+MS_ASYNC Perform asynchronous writes.
+MS_SYNC Perform synchronous writes.
+MS_INVALIDATE Invalidate cached data after writing.
+.Ed
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+.Rv -std
+.Sh ERRORS
+The following errors may be reported:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EBUSY
+The
+.Dv MS_INVALIDATE
+flag was specified and a portion of the specified region
+was locked with
+.Xr mlock 2 .
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The specified
+.Fa flags
+argument was invalid.
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The
+.Fa addr
+parameter was not page aligned or
+.Fa addr
+and
+.Fa size
+specify a region that would extend beyond the end of the address space.
+.It Bq Er EPERM
+The
+.Fa addr
+and
+.Fa len
+parameters specify a region which contains at least one page marked immutable.
+.It Bq Er ENOMEM
+Addresses in the specified region are outside the range allowed
+for the address space of the process, or specify one or more pages
+which are unmapped.
+.It Bq Er EIO
+An I/O error occurred while writing.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Fn msync
+function has been available since
+.Bx 4.3 Net/2 .
+It was modified to conform to
+.St -p1003.1b-93
+.Sh BUGS
+Writes are currently done synchronously even if the
+.Dv MS_ASYNC
+flag is specified.
