you can't make the assumption that a file is local in *ix, either.
in fact, for the last 20 years, every program run on a sunos/solaris

mmap() is everywhere on Solaris. Even when you do something as trivial
as sort(1) --
it'll try to mmap() the operands and only if that fails it is going to
use read()/write().
