+ux-mmap - Unix compatibility functions
+======================================

+Date authored: 2006-02-25
+
+Description
+===========
+
+libHX provides a Linux-style ``mmap()`` function for Win32.
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	#include <libHX.h>
+
+	void *mmap(void *start, size_t length, int prot, int flags, int fd, off_t offset);
+
+``mmap()``
+
+	See the Linux manual page ``mmap``(2) for details. Many flags described
+	in ``mmap``(2) do not work. What does work: ``PROT_NONE``,
+	``PROT_READ``, ``PROT_WRITE``, ``PROT_EXEC`` (only WinXP SP2 or
+	WinServer2003 SP1 or up), ``MAP_SHARED`` and ``MAP_PRIVATE``.
+	``MAP_SHARED`` is the default if no ``MAP_PRIVATE`` is given.
