-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.IR Mpool
-is the library interface intended to provide page oriented buffer management
-of files.
-The buffers may be shared between processes.
-.PP
-The function
-.I mpool_open
-initializes a memory pool.
-The
-.I 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
-.I key
-is NULL, the buffers are mapped into private memory.
-The
-.I fd
-argument is a file descriptor for the underlying file, which must be seekable.
-If
-.I key
-is non-NULL and matches a file already being mapped, the
-.I fd
-argument is ignored.
-.PP
-The
-.I pagesize
-argument is the size, in bytes, of the pages into which the file is broken up.
-The
-.I 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
-.I mpool_filter
-function is intended to make transparent input and output processing of the
-pages possible.
-If the
-.I pgin
-function is specified, it is called each time a buffer is read into the memory
-pool from the backing file.
-If the
-.I pgout
-function is specified, it is called each time a buffer is written into the
-backing file.
-Both functions are called with the
-.I pgcookie
-pointer, the page number and a pointer to the page to being read or written.
-.PP
-The function
-.I 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
-.I pgnoaddr
-address.
-Otherwise, NULL is returned and errno is set.
-.PP
-The function
-.I mpool_get
-takes a MPOOL pointer and a page number as arguments.
-If the page exists, a pointer to the page is returned.
-Otherwise, NULL is returned and errno is set.
-The flags parameter is not currently used.
-.PP
-The function
-.I mpool_put
-unpins the page referenced by
-.IR pgaddr .
-.I Pgaddr
-must be an address previously returned by
-.I mpool_get
-or
-.IR mpool_new .
-The flag value is specified by
-.IR or 'ing
-any of the following values:
-.TP
-MPOOL_DIRTY
-The page has been modified and needs to be written to the backing file.
-.PP
-.I Mpool_put
-returns 0 on success and -1 if an error occurs.
-.PP
-The function
-.I mpool_sync
-writes all modified pages associated with the MPOOL pointer to the
-backing file.
-.I Mpool_sync
-returns 0 on success and -1 if an error occurs.
-.PP
-The
-.I mpool_close
-function free's up any allocated memory associated with the memory pool
-cookie.
-Modified pages are
-.B not
-written to the backing file.
-.I Mpool_close
-returns 0 on success and -1 if an error occurs.
-.SH ERRORS
-The
-.I mpool_open
-function may fail and set
-.I errno
-for any of the errors specified for the library routine
-.IR malloc (3).
-.PP
-The
-.I mpool_get
-function may fail and set
-.I errno
-for the following:
-.TP 15
-[EINVAL]
-The requested record doesn't exist.
-.PP
-The
-.I mpool_new
-and
-.I mpool_get
-functions may fail and set
-.I errno
-for any of the errors specified for the library routines
-.IR read (2) ,
-.IR write (2) ,
-and
-.IR malloc (3).
-.PP
-The
-.I mpool_sync
-function may fail and set
-.I errno
-for any of the errors specified for the library routine
-.IR write (2).
-.PP
-The
-.I mpool_close
-function may fail and set
-.I errno
-for any of the errors specified for the library routine
-.IR free (3).
