1//! The `madvise` function.

3//! # Safety
4//!
5//! `madvise` operates on a raw pointer. Some forms of `madvise` may
6//! mutate the memory or have other side effects.

14/// `posix_madvise(addr, len, advice)`—Declares an expected access pattern
15/// for a memory-mapped file.
16///
17/// # Safety
18///
19/// `addr` must be a valid pointer to memory that is appropriate to
20/// call `posix_madvise` on. Some forms of `advice` may mutate the memory
21/// or evoke a variety of side-effects on the mapping and/or the file.
