Bug#532266: RFP: haskell-mmap -- Memory mapped files for POSIX and Windows



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

This package is a build dependency for the next version of Darcs (by
way of haskell-hashed-storage, see #532154).
Thus, this needs to be in Debian before Darcs 2.3 can enter Debian.
If nobody else wants to take this one, I will.

* Package name    : haskell-mmap
  Version         : 0.2
  Upstream Author : Gracjan Polak <gracjanpolak@gmail.com>

  Description     : Memory mapped files for POSIX and Windows

This library provides a wrapper to mmap(2) or MapViewOfFile, allowing
files or devices to be lazily loaded into memory as strict or lazy
ByteStrings, ForeignPtrs or plain Ptrs, using the virtual memory
subsystem to do on-demand loading. Modifications are also supported.
