Subject: appending data to a mmap-ed file

I'm constantly appending to a file of stock quotes (ints, longs, =
doubles, etc.). I have this file mapped into memory with mmap.=20

What's the most efficient way to make newly appended data available as =
part of the memory mapping?

Obligatory OCaml content: I'm trying to prototype a trading system in =
OCaml.
