# BufferFromFile
Module in JavaScript providing convenient means for using files as buffer making mmap behind the scene.
BufferFromFile use mmap to map file from hard drive to memory returning ArrayBuffer or TypedBuffer which can be manipulated just like ordinary buffer.
BufferFromFile uses mmap to map file from hard drive to memory returning ArrayBuffer or TypedBuffer which can be manipulated just like ordinary buffer.
mmap() creates a new mapping in the virtual address space of the calling process.
During mmap operation all performance issues addressed operation system, so it's nearly fastest way to get data from / store on hard drive with zero copy.
Just like [native](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/mmap.2.html) version of the routine BufferFromFile can accept ( protection ), ( flags ), ( offset ), ( size ) and even ( advise ) parameters.
BufferFromFIle works on Windows, OsX, Lynux other Unix-like systems.
Does not depend of NaN and does not support deprecated versions of Nodejs.
During mmap operation all performance issues addressed operation system, so it's nearly fastest way to get data from / store on hard drive in Java Script. This method of data access do zero copy, unlike others.
Just like [native](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/mmap.2.html) version of the routine BufferFromFile can accept ( protection ), ( flags ), ( offset ), ( size ) and even ( advise ) parameters each of which has default value.
