// remains valid for the lifetime of the process.

// Mmap maps the given file into memory.
// The boolean result indicates whether the file was opened.
// If it is true, the caller should avoid attempting
// to write to the file on Windows, because Windows locks
// the open file, and writes to it will fail.

	// limit on open files; however, the mapping still counts against
	// the system-wide limit, which is typically higher. Examples:
	//
	//     macOS process (sysctl kern.maxfilesperproc):  61440
	//     macOS system  (sysctl kern.maxfiles):        122880
	//     linux process (ulimit -n)                   1048576
	//     linux system  (/proc/sys/fs/file-max)        100000
