# What is this

This is an OS independent `mmap(2)` abstractions.

# How can I use it?
Here is an example program:
```go

// error checking omitted

fd, _ := os.Open(filename)

map := mmap.New(fd)

// map the whole file as a RO mapping for sequential I/O
p, err := map.Map(0, 0, mmap.PROT_READ, mmap.F_READAHEAD)
if err != nil {
...
}

// p now represents the mapping of the entire file

// buf represents the file contents as a byte slice
buf := p.Bytes()
...

p.Unmap()
fd.Close()

```
