Subject: 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
