Paging all DJGPP Guru's!

Is the following possible ??

Creating a buffer dynamically with malloc at runtime
which is then able to be treated
as if it were actually
a 

FILE* openfile("ram_buffer","rb");
[i.e. AFTER this operation actually takes place]

SUCH THAT

any and all file i/o functions could be used on that
__buffer__ even though its actually something that is created
in RAM at runtime?  
[treated as if it were the contents of a file referenced with FILE*,
etc.]

Is there some kind of emulation for this kind of operation
even though FILE I/O isn't what it might be called?

ANY discussion appreciated....
