public abstract class MappedFile
extends net.openhft.chronicle.core.io.AbstractCloseableReferenceCounted

Represents a memory-mapped file that can be randomly accessed in chunks. The file is divided into chunks, and each chunk has an overlapping region with the next chunk to avoid wasting bytes at the end of each chunk. This class provides methods for locking regions of the file, acquiring bytes for read or write operations, and managing the reference counts of the underlying mapped byte stores.

The class is abstract, and specific implementations may differ in how they manage the chunks and underlying file storage.
