-.TH CACHEFLUSH 2 2007-05-26 "Linux" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
-.SH NAME
-cacheflush \- flush contents of instruction and/or data cache
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.B #include <asm/cachectl.h>
-.sp
-.BI "int cacheflush(char *" addr ", int "nbytes ", int "cache );
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.BR cacheflush ()
-flushes the contents of the indicated cache(s) for the
-user addresses in the range
-.I addr
-to
-.IR (addr+nbytes-1) .
-.I cache
-may be one of:
-.TP
-.B ICACHE
-Flush the instruction cache.
-.TP
-.B DCACHE
-Write back to memory and invalidate the affected valid cache lines.
-.TP
-.B BCACHE
-Same as
-.BR (ICACHE|DCACHE) .
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-.BR cacheflush ()
-returns 0 on success or \-1 on error.
-If errors are detected,
-.I errno
-will indicate the error.
-.SH ERRORS
-.TP
-.B EFAULT
-Some or all of the address range
-.I addr
-to
-.I (addr+nbytes-1)
-is not accessible.
-.TP
-.B EINVAL
-.I cache
-is not one of
-.BR ICACHE ,
-.BR DCACHE ,
-or
-.BR BCACHE .
-.SH CONFORMING TO
-This Linux-specific system call is available only on MIPS-based systems.
-.\" FIXME The cacheflush() system call was only on MIPS back in 1.2 days,
-.\" but by now it is on a number of other architectures (but not i386).
-.\" Investigate the details and update this page.
-It should not be used in programs intended to be portable.
-.\" Irix 6.5 appears to have a cacheflush() syscall -- mtk
-.SH BUGS
-The current implementation ignores the
-.I addr
-and
-.I nbytes
-arguments.
-Therefore, the whole cache is always flushed.
-.SH COLOPHON
-This page is part of release 3.79 of the Linux
-.I man-pages
-project.
-A description of the project,
-information about reporting bugs,
-and the latest version of this page,
