###

    #include <db_cxx.h>

    void DbEnv::set_mp_mmapsize(size_t);

# Description

Files that are opened read-only in the pool (and that satisfy a few other criteria) are, by default, mapped into the process address space instead of being copied into the local cache. This can result in better-than-usual performance, as available virtual memory is normally much larger than the local cache, and page faults are faster than page copying on many systems. However, in the presence of limited virtual memory it can cause resource starvation, and in the presence of large databases, it can result in immense process sizes.

Set the maximum file size, in bytes, for a file to be mapped into the process address space. If no value is specified, it defaults to 10Mb.
