python - Why is mmap returning a size of zero? -

-

i'm working on beaglebone (running angstrom linux) , trying use python's mmap module gain read , write access /dev/mem file.

however, reason, code below prints value of zero. i'm new mmap , i'm not sure if there obvious missing.

from mmap import mmap  mmap_offset=0x44c00000 mmap_size=0x48ffffff-mmap_offset  open("/dev/mem", "r+b") f:     testmap=mmap(f.fileno(),mmap_size,offset=mmap_offset)  print testmap.size() print testmap[0]

returns:

0 8

because device inodes /dev/mem report apparent size of 0 when queried stat(). how special device nodes implemented, it's not useful ask device node how large is. (consider /dev/zero, /dev/kbd, /dev/urandom, , device node used communication , not data storage, such device nodes representing photo scanners or input devices.)

you should still able retrieve data mmap handle.

What is the difference between data design and data model(ERD) -

i have google question , find answer in day. know, data design many many table have list column,and mark pk , fk. why er-diagram have find this? data design process of designing database. main output of data design detailed logical data model of database. some people data design includes of needed logical , physical design choices , physical storage parameters needed generate design in data definition language. technically, database analysis, database analysts (dbas) trained do. while person can both data design , database analysis, these 2 different tasks. data design models data. database analysis takes model , applies 1 or more database engines (relational, hierarchical, nosql). a logical data model 1 of main outputs of data design. data model represented entity relationship diagram, or er diagram.
