How do you handle read/write errors with mmap?

[Falcondor]

mmap on file io errors would manifest in Signals (For example SIGBUS or SIGSEGV).

So if you wanted to handle file read/write errors you would need to implement signal handlers.

... which is not great for an API.

In my experience, having worked with a large system that used almost exclusively mmap for I/O, you don’t. The process segfaults and is restarted. In practice it almost never happened.
