11              struct pmem2_badblock;
12              struct pmem2_badblock_context;
13
14              int pmem2_badblock_clear(
15                      struct pmem2_badblock_context *bbctx,
16                      struct pmem2_badblock *bb);

DESCRIPTION

19       The pmem2_badblock_clear() function clears the given *bb bad block.
20
21       It means that the pmem2_badblock_clear() function unmaps bad blocks and
22       maps new, healthy, blocks in place of the bad ones.  The new blocks are
23       zeroed.  The content of the bad blocks is lost.
24
25       It is not supported on Windows.
26
