If the open file corresponding to FD is from a previous use of
mmalloc and passes some basic sanity checks to ensure that it is
- compatible with the current mmalloc package, then it's data is
+ compatible with the current mmalloc package, then its data is
mapped in and is immediately accessible at the same addresses in
the current process as the process that created the file (ignoring
the BASEADDR parameter).
On success, returns a "malloc descriptor" which is used in subsequent
calls to other mmalloc package functions. It is explicitly "void *"
- ("char *" for systems that don't fully support void) so that users
- of the package don't have to worry about the actual implementation
- details.

On failure returns NULL. */
