 257 * The madvise(2) system call.

 266 *  MADV_NORMAL - the default behavior is to read clusters.  This
 267 *              results in some read-ahead and read-behind.
 268 *  MADV_RANDOM - the system should read the minimum amount of data
 269 *              on any access, since it is unlikely that the appli-
 270 *              cation will need more than what it asks for.
 271 *  MADV_SEQUENTIAL - pages in the given range will probably be accessed
 272 *              once, so they can be aggressively read ahead, and
 273 *              can be freed soon after they are accessed.
 274 *  MADV_WILLNEED - the application is notifying the system to read
 275 *              some pages ahead.
 276 *  MADV_DONTNEED - the application is finished with the given range,
 277 *              so the kernel can free resources associated with it.
 278 *  MADV_REMOVE - the application wants to free up the given range of
 279 *              pages and associated backing store.
 280 *
 281 * return values:
 282 *  zero    - success
 283 *  -EINVAL - start + len < 0, start is not page-aligned,
 284 *              "behavior" is not a valid value, or application
 285 *              is attempting to release locked or shared pages.
 286 *  -ENOMEM - addresses in the specified range are not currently
 287 *              mapped, or are outside the AS of the process.
 288 *  -EIO    - an I/O error occurred while paging in data.
