Tim Peters 5ebfd36afa CVS patch #477161 : New "access" keyword for mmap, from Jay T Miller. This gives mmap() on Windows the ability to create read-only, write- through and copy-on-write mmaps. A new keyword argument is introduced because the mmap() signatures diverged between Windows and Unix, so while they (now) both support this functionality, there wasn't a way to spell it in a common way without introducing a new spelling gimmick. The old spellings are still accepted, so there isn't a backward- compatibility issue here.		2001-11-13 23:11:19 +00:00
