:mrdocs:

Map to memory a section of the file starting at the specified `offset` from the start of the file and return a pointer to that memory. The section mapped is to be of the specified `length`. The behavior is undefined unless `offset` is a multiple of `pageSize`. Note that the memory is mapped for readonly access.
