# `mmap` — Suporte a arquivos mapeados na memória

Disponibilidade: não Emscripten, não WASI.

Este módulo não funciona ou não está disponível em plataformas WebAssembly `wasm32-emscripten` e `wasm32-wasi`. Veja Plataformas WebAssembly para mais informações.

Objetos arquivo mapeados na memória se comportam como `bytearray` e como objetos arquivo. Você pode usar objetos mmap na maioria dos lugares onde `bytearray` é esperado; por exemplo, você pode usar o módulo `re` para pesquisar um arquivo mapeado na memória. Você também pode alterar um único byte executando `obj[index] = 97` ou alterar uma subsequência atribuindo a uma fatia: `obj[i1:i2] = b'...'`. Você também pode ler e gravar dados começando na posição atual do arquivo e `seek()` através do arquivo para diferentes posições.

A memory-mapped file is created by the `mmap` constructor, which is different on Unix and on Windows. In either case you must provide a file descriptor for a file opened for update. If you wish to map an existing Python file object, use its `fileno()` method to obtain the correct value for the fileno parameter. Otherwise, you can open the file using the `os.open()` function, which returns a file descriptor directly (the file still needs to be closed when done).

Nota

Se você deseja criar um mapeamento de memória para um arquivo gravável e armazenado em buffer, deve usar `flush()` no arquivo primeiro. Isso é necessário para garantir que as modificações locais nos buffers estejam realmente disponíveis para o mapeamento.

Para as versões Unix e Windows do construtor, access pode ser especificado como um parâmetro opcional de palavra-chave. access aceita um dos quatro valores: `ACCESS_READ`, `ACCESS_WRITE` ou `ACCESS_COPY` para especificar memória somente leitura, gravação ou cópia na gravação, respectivamente `ACCESS_DEFAULT` para adiar para prot. access pode ser usado no Unix e no Windows. Se access não for especificado, o mmap do Windows retornará um mapeamento de gravação. Os valores iniciais da memória para todos os três tipos de acesso são obtidos do arquivo especificado. A atribuição a um mapa de memória `ACCESS_READ` gera uma exceção `TypeError`. A atribuição a um mapa de memória `ACCESS_WRITE` afeta a memória e o arquivo subjacente. A atribuição a um mapa de memória `ACCESS_COPY` afeta a memória, mas não atualiza o arquivo subjacente.

Alterado na versão 3.7: Adicionada a constante `ACCESS_DEFAULT`.

Para mapear a memória anônima, -1 deve ser passado como o fileno junto com o comprimento.

class mmap.mmap(fileno, length, tagname=None, access=ACCESS_DEFAULT[, offset])

  (Versão Windows) Mapeia length bytes do arquivo especificado pelo identificador de arquivo fileno e cria um objeto mmap. Se length for maior que o tamanho atual do arquivo, o arquivo será estendido para conter length bytes. Se length for `0`, o tamanho máximo do mapa será o tamanho atual do arquivo, exceto que, se o arquivo estiver vazio, o Windows levantará uma exceção (você não poderá criar um mapeamento vazio no Windows).

  tagname, if specified and not `None`, is a string giving a tag name for the mapping. Windows allows you to have many different mappings against the same file. If you specify the name of an existing tag, that tag is opened, otherwise a new tag of this name is created. If this parameter is omitted or `None`, the mapping is created without a name. Avoiding the use of the tagname parameter will assist in keeping your code portable between Unix and Windows.

  offset may be specified as a non-negative integer offset. mmap references will be relative to the offset from the beginning of the file. offset defaults to 0. offset must be a multiple of the `ALLOCATIONGRANULARITY`.

class mmap.mmap(fileno, length, flags=MAP_SHARED, prot=PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ, access=ACCESS_DEFAULT[, offset])

  (Unix version) Maps length bytes from the file specified by the file descriptor fileno, and returns a mmap object. If length is `0`, the maximum length of the map will be the current size of the file when `mmap` is called.

  flags specifies the nature of the mapping. `MAP_PRIVATE` creates a private copy-on-write mapping, so changes to the contents of the mmap object will be private to this process, and `MAP_SHARED` creates a mapping that’s shared with all other processes mapping the same areas of the file. The default value is `MAP_SHARED`. Some systems have additional possible flags with the full list specified in MAP_* constants.

  prot, if specified, gives the desired memory protection; the two most useful values are `PROT_READ` and `PROT_WRITE`, to specify that the pages may be read or written. prot defaults to `PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE`.

  access may be specified in lieu of flags and prot as an optional keyword parameter. It is an error to specify both flags, prot and access. See the description of access above for information on how to use this parameter.

  offset may be specified as a non-negative integer offset. mmap references will be relative to the offset from the beginning of the file. offset defaults to 0. offset must be a multiple of `ALLOCATIONGRANULARITY` which is equal to `PAGESIZE` on Unix systems.

  To ensure validity of the created memory mapping the file specified by the descriptor fileno is internally automatically synchronized with the physical backing store on macOS.

  This example shows a simple way of using `mmap`:

      import mmap

      # write a simple example file
      with open("hello.txt", "wb") as f:
          f.write(b"Hello Python!\n")

      with open("hello.txt", "r+b") as f:
          # memory-map the file, size 0 means whole file
          mm = mmap.mmap(f.fileno(), 0)
          # read content via standard file methods
          print(mm.readline())  # prints b"Hello Python!\n"
          # read content via slice notation
          print(mm[:5])  # prints b"Hello"
          # update content using slice notation;
          # note that new content must have same size
          mm[6:] = b" world!\n"
          # ... and read again using standard file methods
          mm.seek(0)
          print(mm.readline())  # prints b"Hello  world!\n"
          # close the map
          mm.close()

  `mmap` can also be used as a context manager in a `with` statement:

      import mmap

      with mmap.mmap(-1, 13) as mm:
          mm.write(b"Hello world!")

  Novo na versão 3.2: Suporte a gerenciador de contexto.

  The next example demonstrates how to create an anonymous map and exchange data between the parent and child processes:

      import mmap
      import os

      mm = mmap.mmap(-1, 13)
      mm.write(b"Hello world!")

      pid = os.fork()

      if pid == 0:  # In a child process
          mm.seek(0)
          print(mm.readline())

          mm.close()

  Levanta um evento de auditoria `mmap.__new__` com os argumentos `fileno`, `length`, `access`, `offset`.

  Memory-mapped file objects support the following methods:

  close()

    Closes the mmap. Subsequent calls to other methods of the object will result in a ValueError exception being raised. This will not close the open file.

  closed

    `True` if the file is closed.

    Novo na versão 3.2.

  find(sub[, start[, end]])

    Returns the lowest index in the object where the subsequence sub is found, such that sub is contained in the range [start, end]. Optional arguments start and end are interpreted as in slice notation. Returns `-1` on failure.

    Alterado na versão 3.5: Writable bytes-like object is now accepted.

  flush([offset[, size]])

    Flushes changes made to the in-memory copy of a file back to disk. Without use of this call there is no guarantee that changes are written back before the object is destroyed. If offset and size are specified, only changes to the given range of bytes will be flushed to disk; otherwise, the whole extent of the mapping is flushed. offset must be a multiple of the `PAGESIZE` or `ALLOCATIONGRANULARITY`.

    `None` is returned to indicate success. An exception is raised when the call failed.

    Alterado na versão 3.8: Previously, a nonzero value was returned on success; zero was returned on error under Windows. A zero value was returned on success; an exception was raised on error under Unix.

  madvise(option[, start[, length]])

    Send advice option to the kernel about the memory region beginning at start and extending length bytes. option must be one of the MADV_* constants available on the system. If start and length are omitted, the entire mapping is spanned. On some systems (including Linux), start must be a multiple of the `PAGESIZE`.

    Availability: Systems with the `madvise()` system call.

    Novo na versão 3.8.

  move(dest, src, count)

    Copy the count bytes starting at offset src to the destination index dest. If the mmap was created with `ACCESS_READ`, then calls to move will raise a `TypeError` exception.

  read([n])

    Return a `bytes` containing up to n bytes starting from the current file position. If the argument is omitted, `None` or negative, return all bytes from the current file position to the end of the mapping. The file position is updated to point after the bytes that were returned.

    Alterado na versão 3.3: Argument can be omitted or `None`.

  read_byte()

    Returns a byte at the current file position as an integer, and advances the file position by 1.

  readline()

    Returns a single line, starting at the current file position and up to the next newline. The file position is updated to point after the bytes that were returned.

  resize(newsize)

    Resizes the map and the underlying file, if any. If the mmap was created with `ACCESS_READ` or `ACCESS_COPY`, resizing the map will raise a `TypeError` exception.

    On Windows: Resizing the map will raise an `OSError` if there are other maps against the same named file. Resizing an anonymous map (ie against the pagefile) will silently create a new map with the original data copied over up to the length of the new size.

    Alterado na versão 3.11: Correctly fails if attempting to resize when another map is held Allows resize against an anonymous map on Windows

  rfind(sub[, start[, end]])

    Returns the highest index in the object where the subsequence sub is found, such that sub is contained in the range [start, end]. Optional arguments start and end are interpreted as in slice notation. Returns `-1` on failure.

    Alterado na versão 3.5: Writable bytes-like object is now accepted.

  seek(pos[, whence])

    Set the file’s current position. whence argument is optional and defaults to `os.SEEK_SET` or `0` (absolute file positioning); other values are `os.SEEK_CUR` or `1` (seek relative to the current position) and `os.SEEK_END` or `2` (seek relative to the file’s end).

  size()

    Return the length of the file, which can be larger than the size of the memory-mapped area.

  tell()

    Returns the current position of the file pointer.

  write(bytes)

    Write the bytes in bytes into memory at the current position of the file pointer and return the number of bytes written (never less than `len(bytes)`, since if the write fails, a `ValueError` will be raised). The file position is updated to point after the bytes that were written. If the mmap was created with `ACCESS_READ`, then writing to it will raise a `TypeError` exception.

    Alterado na versão 3.5: Writable bytes-like object is now accepted.

    Alterado na versão 3.6: The number of bytes written is now returned.

  write_byte(byte)

    Write the integer byte into memory at the current position of the file pointer; the file position is advanced by `1`. If the mmap was created with `ACCESS_READ`, then writing to it will raise a `TypeError` exception.
