7# Detect how mmap can be used to create anonymous (not file-backed) memory
8# mappings.
9# - On Linux, AIX, OSF/1, Solaris, Cygwin, Interix, Haiku, both MAP_ANONYMOUS
10#   and MAP_ANON exist and have the same value.
11# - On HP-UX, only MAP_ANONYMOUS exists.
12# - On Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, only MAP_ANON exists.
13# - On IRIX, neither exists, and a file descriptor opened to /dev/zero must be
14#   used.
