"On modern operating systems mmap is typically preferred to the System V IPC Shared Memory facility"
I'm not qualified to discuss the precise relative merits of Sys-V style Shared memory and mmap, but "modern operating systems" can't directly mean UNIX-like in this context because System V was UNIX, and System V methodologies would naturally have been preferred on Systev V. It may well refer to "modern UNIX-like operating systems" but it must mean that they are of sufficiently recent design to incorporate both mmap and System V stuff.

Thanks alot for the great article. I am truly impressed at how useful and eady to understand it was. God Bless You guys. By the way, wikipedia is used daily by me as I learn programming. 71.175.58.214 19:55, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
The description of mapping swap space is totally incorrect. source Bestsss ( talk) 09:43, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
.mmap is also the file extension used by popular mind-mapping software Mindjet MindManager (Mac & PC). -- 86.135.209.73 ( talk) 22:38, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
What is the first use of mmap and first mmap-like functionality? 4.1cBSD? 91.154.87.201 ( talk) 15:32, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
Suggest giving timeframes as a year in addition to software versions. "BSD 1.2.3" is less (immediately) informative than "mmap was first seen in 1923". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.96.185 ( talk) 01:54, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
What is the example supposed to be doing? Examples are supposed to illuminate, not show off someone's C coding skills. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Houseofwealth ( talk • contribs) 18:41, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
Says "It naturally implements demand paging, because file contents are not read from disk initially and do not use physical RAM at all". The last phrase of the sentence makes no sense. If the file is mapped into VM, and attempting to read it causes a page fault - which it must - then when you page in the file you have to use physical memory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Houseofwealth ( talk • contribs) 18:46, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
