Boost C++ Libraries

...one of the most highly regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the world. Herb Sutter and Andrei Alexandrescu, C++ Coding Standards

//
// This header and its accompanying source file libs/iostreams/memmap.cpp are
// an adaptation of Craig Henderson's memmory mapped file library. The
// interface has been revised significantly, but the underlying OS-specific
// code is essentially the same, with some code from Boost.Filesystem
// mixed in. (See notations in source.)
//
// The following changes have been made:
//
// 1. OS-specific code put in a .cpp file.
// 2. Name of main class changed to mapped_file.
// 3. mapped_file given an interface similar to std::fstream (open(),
//    is_open(), close()) and std::string (data(), size(), begin(), end()).
// 4. An additional class readonly_mapped_file has been provided as a
//    convenience.
// 5. [Obsolete: Error states are reported using filesystem::error_code.]
// 6. Read-only or read-write states are specified using ios_base::openmode.
// 7. Access to the underlying file handles and to security parameters
//    has been removed.
