14.4.22 sys/mman.h: memory management and mapping definitions

   

DESCRIPTION

This file includes constant definitions and function prototypes for memory management operations.
mmap
Map a file into a region of memory.
mprotect
Change the protections associated with an mmaped region.
munmap
Unmap a file from memory.

None of these routines are implemented in the minimal C library.

The defined constant values are the same as traditional BSD, though the values of PROT_READ and PROT_EXEC are reversed.
