I find this wording confusing. How about this?

Uses
Some<size_t>instead of*mut c_voidfor theaddrpassed tosys::mman::mmap.In this instance we are not usefully passing a pointer, it will never be dereferenced. We are passing a location which represents where to attach the shared memory to.
In this case
size_tbetter represents an address and not a pointer, andOption<size_t>better represents an optional argument thanNULLPTR.In C since there is no optional type this is a pointer as this allows it be null which is an alias here for
None.
