+.BR MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE " (since Linux 4.17)"
+Similar to MAP_FIXED with respect to the
+.I
+addr
+enforcement, but different in that MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE never clobbers a pre-existing
+mapped range. If the requested range would collide with an existing
+mapping, then this call fails with
+.B EEXIST.
+This flag can therefore be used as a way to atomically (with respect to other
+threads) attempt to map an address range: one thread will succeed; all others
+will report failure. Please note that older kernels which do not recognize this
+flag will typically (upon detecting a collision with a pre-existing mapping)
+fall back to a "non-MAP_FIXED" type of behavior: they will return an address that
+is different than the requested one. Therefore, backward-compatible software
+should check the returned address against the requested address.
