What (who) is bit-mapped - definition
SEGMENT OF VIRTUAL MEMORY THAT HAS BEEN ASSIGNED A DIRECT BYTE-FOR-BYTE CORRELATION WITH SOME PORTION OF A FILE OR FILE-LIKE RESOURCE
Memory-mapped files; Memory mapped files; Memory Mapped Files; Memory mapped file; Mem-mapped file
Bit (horse)
TYPE OF HORSE TACK
Horse bit; Horse bits; Champing at the bit; Chomping at the bit; Horse's bit; Horsebit
The bit is an item of a horse's tack. It usually refers to the assembly of components that contacts and controls the horse's mouth, and includes the shanks, rings, cheekpads and mullen, all described here below, but it also sometimes simply refers to the mullen, the piece that fits inside the horse's mouth.
Bit-length
NUMBER OF BINARY DIGITS (BITS), NECESSARY TO REPRESENT AN INTEGER IN THE BINARY NUMBER SYSTEM
Bit length; Bit width
Bit-length or bit width is the number of binary digits, called bits, necessary to represent an integer as a binary number. Formally, the bit-length of a natural number n>0 is a function, bitLength(n), of the binary logarithm of n:

In this diagram, green is represented by its [[RGB]] value, both in decimal and in binary. The red box surrounding the last two bits illustrates the least significant bits changed in the binary representation.](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:FilePath/LeastSignificantBitDemonstration.jpg?width=200 "A diagram showing how manipulating the least significant bits of a color can have a very subtle and generally unnoticeable affect on the color.

Memory-mapped file
A memory-mapped file is a segment of virtual memory that has been assigned a direct byte-for-byte correlation with some portion of a file or file-like resource. This resource is typically a file that is physically present on disk, but can also be a device, shared memory object, or other resource that the operating system can reference through a file descriptor. Once present, this correlation between the file and the memory space permits applications to treat the mapped portion as if it were primary memory.
