* Re-word the intro slightly to avoid reader misunderstanding: strings are notFred Drake2001-12-031-30/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | mutable! We do not want to shock anyone. This closes SF bug #483805. Re-factor so that the description of the "access" keyword parameter is not repeated in both the descriptions of mmap(). Also, only make sure the first description of mmap() appears in the index. The the index link is followed, the first is now used to locate the page on the screen; chances are really good both will be visible. This avoids the problem that the index entry for the second is selected and the first version is not visible, making the reader consider that mmap() is not available on Windows.
* Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take noFred Drake2001-11-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the last thing in the enclosing group. These cases were marked inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.
* CVS patch #477161: New "access" keyword for mmap, from Jay T Miller.Tim Peters2001-11-131-62/+100
| | | | | | | | | | 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.
