Can I have a hint?

I am not aware of memory mapped files in tdb. The most recent version of
the code I had until the other day was like a year old, so perhaps it is
newer than that. I can't find in my quick reading of the code a reference
to it in tdb_open().

I would love to be able to open a memory only tdb. Can I have a hint?
