How is Fil-C’s wrapper approach different from someone (not necessarily the Rust stdlib) implementing a safe wrapper around a particular syscall?

mmap is a bit of an outlier because it is not possible to implement a fully featured safe wrapper (MAP_SHARED) in Rust. So I would be curious to see what safety guarantees Fil-C claims to provide for mmap.
