# FileMapping.cpp - C++ Library for Managing File Mappings in Windows
This is a C++ library for managing file mappings in Windows using the WinAPI.
## Overview
The `FileMapping` class provided in this library allows you to create, open, and manage file mappings in Windows. File mapping is a mechanism for mapping a file into memory, allowing for efficient file access and sharing between processes.
## Features
- Create file mappings
- Open existing file mappings
- Map files into memory
- Retrieve file size
- Access memory-mapped file data
## Installation
To use this package, you can clone the repository and compile it using a C++ compiler:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/NIR3X/FileMapping.cpp
cd FileMapping.cpp
make
```
## Usage
To use the `FileMapping` class in your project, include the `FileMapping.h` header file and link against `FileMapping.a`.
```cpp
#include "FileMapping.h"
#include
int main() {
// Example usage
CFileMapping fileMapping(L"path_to_file");
LPVOID mapView = fileMapping.getMapView();
// Use the memory-mapped file...
return 0;
}
```
