NAME
     mmap_read - memory map a file for reading

SYNTAX
     #include <libowfat/mmap.h>

     const char* mmap_read(const char* filename,size_t* filesize);

DESCRIPTION
     mmap_read	opens  filename  for  reading,	maps the whole file into memory,
     closes the file, writes the length of the file to filesize  and  returns  a
     pointer to the mapped file.

     The file is unmapped by the operating system if the process terminates.  It
     can also be manually unmapped by calling munmap from <sys/mman.h>.

     If the file could not be opened or mapped, (void*)0 is returned.
