I have some c code which I have acquired and would like to use,
unfortunately all the code (there is a lot of it) is expecting a passed
FILE* pointer.
The data I have is of the correct type but it is in memory. Is there a way
I can create a FILE structure and point it to the data in memory, or
generally convert my in memory data to a FILE structure?

I know that I could always save the data in memory to disk and then load it
again, to acquire the FILE structure but I would rather not.

many thanks
