#/**
# Constructor. Maps the specified number of bytes of the specified file
# into the current process's address space. Read/write access protection
# (default is read-only), and mmap() control flags may be specified
# (default is MAP_SHARED). If no length is given, maps the file's current length.
#
# The specified file will be created if needed, and openned in an
# access mode that is compatible with the specified access protection.
# If the size of the file is less than the specified length, and the access flags
# include write access, the file will be extended with NUL characters to the
# specified length.
#
# Note that for Win32, the specified file is used as a "namespace",
# rather than physical file, if an "anonymous" mmap() is requested.
#
# On POSIX platforms, an anonymous, private shared memory region
# can be created (to be inherited by any fork()'ed
# child processes) by using a zero-length filename, and
# "private" (MAP_PRIVATE) mmap() flags.
#
# On Win32 platforms, the default behavior is to create a "namespace", and use the
# Windows swap file for the backing file. However, by including MAP_FILE in the
# mmap() flags parameter, the specified file will be opened and/or created,
# and used for the backing file, rather than the system swap file.
