Quickstart

A basic example demonstrating how to use smmap to memory-map a file and read data from it.

import os
from smmap import MemoryMap

# Initialize a MemoryMap instance
mm = MemoryMap('example.txt')

# Read data from the memory-mapped file
with mm as m:
    data = m.read(1024)
    print(data)
