+ * alloc - memory allocator routines
+ *
+ * The alloc module implements a simple allocator which you can use to
+ * dynamically allocate space within a region of memory.  This can be useful
+ * for suballocations within a given region, or a memory-mapped file.
+ *
+ * All metadata is kept within the memory handed to the allocator: you only
+ * need hand the pointer and the size of the memory to each call.
+ *
+ * The region contents is always in offsets, so it can be mapped in different
+ * places, but is not endian-safe.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *     #include <sys/mman.h>
+ *     #include <unistd.h>
+ *     #include <sys/types.h>
+ *     #include <err.h>
+ *     #include <sys/stat.h>
+ *     #include <fcntl.h>
+ *     #include <string.h>
+ *     #include <ccan/alloc/alloc.h>

+ *     static void usage(const char *name)

+ *                  " %s --free=<offset> <mapfile>\n", name, name, name, name);
+ *     }
