Creating a memory mapped file
Please support our C++ advertiser: Intel Parallel Studio Home

Hi everyone!!
First of all am quite new to cpp especially under linux.
I am currently working on a small project under Linux and am having to deal with large number of data(larger than 1 GB). numerous number of operation is to be done with these data. for example: sorting, searching, comparing ... etc. so in order to perform all these operations it is important that these data are in the memory...
in order to deal with such a large amount of data am thinking of using a memory mapped file..
can anyone help me or guide me in the steps of creating a memory mapped file?
Please help ..
Thanking in advance

at the command prompt on your system. it should give you all the information that you require.you would see something like this: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?q...le&format=html

hi KDan !
the following steps tell u how to create a memory mapped file:
1. use 'open' function to get a file description;
2. create a memory maped file using 'mmap' function, which returns a pointer to the address of the memory;
3. 'munmap' function close a memory maped file;
4. 'close' to close the file;
btw:why not use database operation instead?
