/// // Initialize an anonymous mapping with 4 pages.
/// let map_length = 4 * nc::PAGE_SIZE;
/// let addr = unsafe {
///     nc::mmap(

///         0,
///     )

/// let addr = addr.unwrap();
///
/// // Set the third page readonly. And we will run into SIGSEGV when updating it.

///
/// let ret = unsafe { nc::munmap(addr, map_length) };
