numpy.lib.format:open_memmap

Parameters

filename : str or path-like

The name of the file on disk. This may not be a file-like object.

mode : str, optional

The mode in which to open the file; the default is 'r+'. In addition to the standard file modes, 'c' is also accepted to mean "copy on write." See memmap for the available mode strings.

dtype : data-type, optional

The data type of the array if we are creating a new file in "write" mode, if not, dtype is ignored. The default value is None, which results in a data-type of float64.

shape : tuple of int

The shape of the array if we are creating a new file in "write" mode, in which case this parameter is required. Otherwise, this parameter is ignored and is thus optional.

fortran_order : bool, optional

Whether the array should be Fortran-contiguous (True) or C-contiguous (False, the default) if we are creating a new file in "write" mode.

version : tuple of int (major, minor) or None

If the mode is a "write" mode, then this is the version of the file format used to create the file. None means use the oldest supported version that is able to store the data. Default: None

max_header_size : int, optional

Maximum allowed size of the header. Large headers may not be safe to load securely and thus require explicitly passing a larger value. See ast.literal_eval() for details.
