mmap2 - map files or devices into memory
#include <sys/mman.h>
void *mmap2(void *addr, size_t length, int prot,
int flags, int fd, off_t pgoffset);
This is probably not the system call that you are interested in; instead, see mmap(2), which describes the glibc wrapper function that invokes this system call.
The mmap2() system call provides the same interface as mmap(2), except that the final argument specifies the offset into the file in 4096-byte units (instead of bytes, as is done by mmap(2)). This enables applications that use a 32-bit off_t
to map large files (up to 2^44 bytes).
On success, mmap2() returns a pointer to the mapped area. On error, -1 is returned and errno
is set appropriately.
mmap2() is available since Linux 2.3.31.
This system call is Linux-specific.
