NAME

       mmap_private - memory map a file for reading and writing

SYNTAX

       #include <mmap.h>

       char* mmap_private(const char* filename,size_t* filesize);

DESCRIPTION

       mmap_private  opens  filename  for  reading  and writing, maps the whole file into memory,
       closes the file, writes the length of the file to filesize and returns a  pointer  to  the
       mapped file.

       The  file  is mapped copy-on-write.  Changes done to the mapped region will not be written
       to disk.

       The file is unmapped by the operating system if the process terminates.  It  can  also  be
       manually unmapped by calling munmap from <sys/mman.h>.

       If the file could not be opened or mapped, (void*)0 is returned.
