43b0f69749Sis.Sh DESCRIPTION
44b0f69749Sis.Fn m68k_sync_icache
45b0f69749Sissynchronizes data and instruction caches over the specified region.
46b0f69749SisIt should be called prior to executing newly generated code.
47b0f69749Sis.Pp
48b0f69749SisThe affected address range starts at
49b0f69749Sis.Fa start
50b0f69749Sisand continues for
51b0f69749Sis.Fa size
52de0b517cSwizbytes.

54b0f69749Sis.Fa start
55b0f69749Sisis 0, all the address space of the current execution thread is affected.
56b0f69749SisAddresses outside the specified region may be synchronized, too.
57b0f69749Sis.Pp
58b0f69749SisThe call always succeeds.
