/** @fn  mmap(void *, size_t len, int prot, int flags, int fildes, off_t offset)

@param # Represents the parameter addr

@param len

@param prot

@param flags

@param fildes

@param offset

@return   Upon successful completion, mmap returns a pointer to the mapped region.

Otherwise, a value of MAP_FAILED is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

The  mmap system call causes the pages starting at  addr and continuing for at most  len bytes to be mapped from the object described by  fildes, starting at byte offset  offset. 

If  len is not a multiple of the pagesize, the mapped region may extend past the specified range. Any such extension beyond the end of the mapped object will be zero-filled.

If addr is non-zero, it is used as a hint to the system. (As a convenience to the system, the actual address of the region may differ from the address supplied).

If addr is zero, an address will be selected by the system. The actual starting address of the region is returned. A successful mmap deletes any previous mapping in the allocated address range.

The protections (region accessibility) are specified in the prot argument by or'ing the following values:

@code

PROT_READ 	Pages may be read.

PROT_WRITE 	Pages may be written.

PROT_EXEC 	Pages may be executed.

PROT_NONE 	This protection mode is currently not supported.

@endcode

The flags argument specifies the type of the mapped object, mapping options and whether modifications made to the mapped copy of the page are private to the process or are to be shared with other references. 

Sharing, mapping type and options are specified in the flags argument by or'ing the following values:

@code

MAP_PRIVATE 	Modifications are private.

MAP_SHARED 	Modifications are shared.

MAP_FIXED, MAP_FILE, MAP_ANON, MAP_HASSEMAPHORE, MAP_STACK, MAP_NOSYNC -- These flags are currently not supported.

@endcode

The close system call does not unmap pages, see munmap for further information.

The current design does not allow a process to specify the location of swap space. 

In the future we may define an additional mapping type, MAP_SWAP, in which the file descriptor argument specifies a file or device to which swapping should be done.

/** @fn  munmap(void *addr, size_t len)

@param addr

@return   Upon successful completion munmap() returns 0; otherwise, it returns -1 and 

sets errno to indicate the error.

  The munmap system call deletes the mappings for the specified address range 

and causes further references to addresses within the range to generate invalid 

memory references. The current implementation does not support partial deletion 

of mapped memory, i.e if offset to offset+len section of memory was mapped using mmap the entire section of memory offset+len will be deleted.
