# mmap

Load file-backed memory.  

Uses [edsrzf/mmap-go](https://github.com/edsrzf/mmap-go) under the hood.

## Installing

```

go get -u github.com/tidwall/mmap

```

## Using

Load a bigole file into a byte slice. This happens pretty much instantly even

if your file is many GBs.

```go

data, err := mmap.Open("my-big-file.txt", false)

if err != nil {

    panic(err)

}

```

Now you can read the `data` slice like any other Go slice.

Make sure to release the data when your done.

```go

mmap.Close(data)

```

Don't read the `data` after closing otherwise your f*cked.

That's all, bye now
