Hi,

If I have a data structure with pointers that want to memory map into
a file. How exactly do I do this?
Would help if could get an example/sample on how it could be done. I
read that this could be achieved by storing offsets. How exactly is
this done? Unable to understand.

Thanks and Regards,
M Shetty
