 I think this can be done by (read (!!!) the man pages before trying anything)
  ...
 
  fd = open("/dev/mem", O_RDWR);
  pointer = mmap(NULL, how_much_bytes, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, flags, fs, offset);
 
  // i'm not sure about setting of the flags parameter, u SHOULD read manpage for mmap
  ...

  munmap(pointer, how_much_bytes);
