Standard Read and Write FILE functions to refer to memory

I have huge number of legacy code which use standard files functions.
I would like to pass a memory pointer rather than a FILE pointer.

I am trying to use FILEs in the code to refer to memory buffers.
Basically, I want to be able to use all the standard read and write
functions, but I want them to refer to memory locations, rather than
disk
files.

I do not want to touch the legacy code. Does any one know of a library
to do this. I would appreciate the help.
