Getting the system's page size can be done via a standard API (<x-man-page://3/sysconf> with the _SC_PAGESIZE selector (which, incidentally, isn't listed on our man page)). Allocating memory on a page boundary can be done with <x-man-page://3/valloc> (which is a BSDism; I'm sure there are alternatives on non-BSD systems; if all else fails, allocate an extra page and round it yourself). My other question: is this code going to be platform-specific, or is it making calls into BSD-kernel which potentially can map to linux? I believe that Linux has similar functionality, but I don't know them off the top of my head. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
