//! A simple API for treating a file basically as an infinite vector that can be written to at any
//! point, appended to, read from and shrinken at will and in a very fast way.
//!
//! The file is memory-mapped with a libc call specifying basically an infinite memory size. But it
//! doesn't consume that amount of memory. Should only be used on Linux and from a single caller/process.
//! All write calls immediately call `sync_all` after them, which is not ideal, but maybe we'll improve
//! later.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```rust
//! use std::path::Path;
//! use mmap_simple::Mmap;
//!
//! fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//! let mut mmap = Mmap::new(Path::new("example.txt"))?;
//! mmap.append(b"Hello, world!")?;
//! mmap.overwrite(0, b"Goodbye")?;
//! mmap.drop_from_tail(6)?;
//! mmap.append(b", world!")?;
//! Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
