API used to access process heap structure



Hi,

Windows has an API to walk the heap associated with a process.
There is no POSIX API for UNIX as far as I know. So it will be
different for each UNIX variant. Darwin has a heap(1) utility which
clearly uses an API to get the information. You can see some of that by
looking at the output of nm. However, I have been unable to
find any published documentation about it. I am interested
for example in extracting information about the blocks on the
free list.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Sincerely,
Martin Knapp-Cordes
