userfaultfd-go provides Go bindings to userfaultfd, which allows for handling page faults in a memory region in userspace.
It enables you to...
- Expose any
io.ReaderAtas a Go slice: You can use this feature to work with anyio.ReaderAtinterface as a Go slice, which can be useful when working with external libraries that can't work with Go buffers or readers. - Access remote files as a slice without fetching: With
userfaultfd-go, you can access a remote file stored in S3 or a file as a slice without needing to fetch its complete contents locally, which can be beneficial when working with large files. - Track changes to
mmaped regions: You can track changes made to ammaped region by one process from another process.
