|
.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
mmap_readat \- memory map a file for reading
|
||
|
|
.SH SYNTAX
|
||
|
|
.B #include <mmap.h>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
char* \fBmmap_readat\fP(const char* \fIfilename\fR,size_t* \fIfilesize\fR,int \fIdirfd\fR);
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
mmap_readat opens \fIfilename\fR for reading, maps the whole file into
|
||
|
|
memory, closes the file, writes the length of the file to \fIfilesize\fR
|
||
|
|
and returns a pointer to the mapped file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If \fIfilename\fR is a relative path and \fIdirfd\fR is not -1,
|
||
|
|
\fIfilename\fR is interpreted relative to \fIdirfd\fR, which must be an
|
||
|
|
open directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The file is unmapped by the operating system if the process terminates.
|
||
|
|
It can also be manually unmapped by calling \fBmunmap\fR from
|
||
|
|
<sys/mman.h>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the file could not be opened or mapped, (void*)0 is returned.
