buffer_mmapread - create read-only memory-mapped file buffer

Description

       buffer_mmapread  opens filename for reading and fills b so that the contents of the file can be read from
       it.  Using mmap is more efficient than reading through a real buffer, but you have to  call  buffer_close
       to unmap the memory in the end.

Example

         #include <libowfat/buffer.h>
         #include <libowfat/open.h>

         buffer input;
         char x;

         buffer_mmapread(&input,"/etc/passwd");
         while (buffer_get(&input,&x,1)==1) {
           buffer_put(buffer_1,&x,1);
           if (x=='\n') break;
         }
         buffer_flush(buffer_1);
         buffer_close(&input);

Name

       buffer_mmapread - create read-only memory-mapped file buffer

Return Value

buffer_mmapread returns 0 if everything was fine, -1 on error (setting errno).
