Modify the mmap-write and mmap-read programs such that the former write n ran- dom integers to the file and the latter reads and prints all integers. n is an argument to both programs. It must be greater than zero. Include error handling when parsing the argument n and for the system calls open () and mmap(). Example executions: $ make $ ./mmap-write /tmp/afile 10 $ cat /tmp/afile -68 7 24 -10 48 24 -50 -97 52 -60 ./mmap-read /tmp/afile 10 -68 7 24 -10 48 24 -50 -97 52 -60 $ ./mmap-write /tmp/afile 0 invalid number of integers $ ./mmap-write /tmp/afile x failed to parse number of integers ./mmap-read /tmp/invalidfile 10 open error: No such file or directory Modify the mmap-write and mmap-read programs such that the former write n ran- dom integers to the file and the latter reads and prints all integers. n is an argument to both programs.
