    CVS patch #477161: New "access" keyword for mmap, from Jay T Miller. · 5ebfd36a
    Tim Peters authored
    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.
