+.Sh NAME
+.Nm pmap_unwire
+.Nd unwire a range of virtual pages
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/param.h
+.In vm/vm.h
+.In vm/pmap.h
+.Ft void
+.Fo pmap_unwire
+.Fa "pmap_t pmap" "vm_offset_t start" "vm_offset_t end"
+.Fc
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Pp
+The function
+.Fn pmap_unwire
+removes the wired attribute from each of the virtual-to-physical page mappings
+within the virtual address range from
+.Fa start
+to
+.Fa end
+of the physical map
+.Fa pmap .
+Every valid mapping within that range is required to have the wired attribute
+set.
+Invalid mappings are ignored, since they cannot have the wired attribute set.
+.Sh NOTES
+Only the function
+.Xr pmap_enter 9
+can be used to set the wired attribute of a virtual-to-physical page mapping.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
