MAP_SHARED
Share this mapping. Updates to the mapping are visible to
other processes that map this file, and are carried through
to the underlying file. The file may not actually be
updated until msync(2) or munmap() is called.
MAP_PRIVATE
Create a private copy-on-write mapping. Updates to the
mapping are not visible to other processes mapping the same
file, and are not carried through to the underlying file.
It is unspecified whether changes made to the file after
the mmap() call are visible in the mapped region.
The reason for picking MAP_SHARED was to be sure the changes in buffer
really hits the file. I read that MAP_PRIVATE does not garantee this.
This is reason I was picking MAP_SHARED together with msync.
cheers,
daniel
