Drivers work with VSILFILE objects.
Sometimes these are real files but as I understand it,
sometimes these are actually blocks of memory behind a file interface.
Is the reverse possible, ie can I mmap a VSILFILE and then
read it as if it were a block of memory ?
This would be for read-only drivers.
There will inevitably be endian issues, but I have come across
several file formats that look to me to be designed to be read
this way, especially the header structures.
Thanks,
