<title>Description</title>
<para>Unmaps a previously with the &func-mmap; function mapped
buffer and frees it, if possible. <!-- ? This function (not freeing)
has no impact on I/O in progress, specifically it does not imply
&VIDIOC-STREAMOFF; to terminate I/O. Unmapped buffers can still be
enqueued, dequeued or queried, they are just not accessible by the
application.--></para>
