mmap queestion

[Vincenzo Conti]

Hi to all,
programming ANSI C on UNIX (Tru64 5.1A, but I hope it is not
important).
I need to load an executable in memory (ex: a copy of /usr/bin/telnet)
and start it from memory.
While executing telnet_copy, delete the copy.

Is it possible using mmap ?
Could you provide a short example ?

Thank you very much.
Vic

Not using ANSI C, because there is no reference to mmap in
the language specification. You would have to use some
platform specific functionality.

Could you provide a short example ?

Nope. Try or another Unix
newsgroup.
It's been soooooo long since I was into the Unix O.S.

Thank you very much.
