We're in luck, I have it right here. On pages 529-530:
Here are the current (POSIX.1-2024) versions of the appropriate definitions

2.8.3.2 Memory
Mapped Files
Is that from the Rationale?
No, like I said it's on pages 529-530 of the PDF version of IEEE 1003.1-2024
which I downloaded from the IEEE.
Your web site has a copy here
