DESCRIPTION

14       mmap_read  opens filename for reading, maps the whole file into memory,
15       closes the file, writes the length of the file to filesize and  returns
16       a pointer to the mapped file.
17
18       The file is unmapped by the operating system if the process terminates.
19       It can also be manually unmapped by calling munmap from <sys/mman.h>.
20
21       If the file could not be opened or mapped, (void*)0 is returned.
