<hr><a name="_details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
Create and map a disk file into memory. Map a named disk file into memory.
<p>
This portable class works under both Posix via mmap and under the win32 API. A mapped file can be referenced directly by it's memory segment. One can map and unmap portions of a file on demand, and update changed memory pages mapped from files immediately through sync().
