// Handle for a memory area where a file has been mmapped.

// Similar to a pointer: you "allocate" it using MmapFile(filename) and "delete"
// it using Unmap().  Just like a pointer, it is passed around by value (see
// signature of MmapFile and Unmap; fortunately, it's a small class, so there
// shouldn't be any significant performance penalty) and its usage is not
// necessarily scoped (that's why the destructor is not performing the unmap).
//
// Note: on program termination, each still unmapped file is automatically
// unmapped.  Hence, it is not an error if you don't call Unmap() (provided you
// are ok keeping that file in memory the whole time).

// Maps the full content of a file in memory (using mmap).
//
// When done using the file content, one can unmap using Unmap().  Otherwise,
// all mapped files are unmapped when the program terminates.
//
// Sample usage:
//
// MmapHandle mmap_handle = MmapFile(filename);
// CHECK(mmap_handle.ok()) << "Unable to mmap " << filename;
//
// ... use data from addresses
// ... [mmap_handle.start, mmap_handle.start + mmap_handle.num_bytes)
//
// Unmap(mmap_handle);  // Unmap logs errors internally.
//
// Note: one can read *and* write the num_bytes bytes from start, but those
// writes are not propagated to the underlying file, nor to other processes that
// may have mmapped that file (all changes are local to current process).
