Dear List,

I am hoping someone on these lists can assist me with my little problem. If the problem is not appropriate to these lists, could someone please point me in the right direction. I have a requirement to know which memory pages (allocated by my application) have been written to during the execution of my application, I also need to know the addresses of the areas of the pages that have been changed. I have spent hours perusing the BSD and Darwin documents without finding anything that seems to allow for this. Does anyone know how to do this or can suggest something please, I am at my wits end.

Thanks in advance
