ARCH_API bool ArchCommitVirtualMemoryRange	(	void *	start,
		size_t	numBytes
	)

Make the range of numBytes bytes starting at start available for reading and writing.

The range must be within one previously reserved by ArchReserveVirtualMemory(). It is not an error to commit a range that was previously partly or fully committed. Return false in case of an error; check errno.

ARCH_API bool ArchFreeVirtualMemory	(	void *	start,
		size_t	numBytes
	)

Return memory obtained with ArchReserveVirtualMemory() to the system.

The start argument must be the value returned from a previous call to ArchReserveVirtualMemory, and numBytes must match the argument from that call. Memory within the range may not be accessed after this call. Return false in case of an error; check errno.

ARCH_API void* ArchReserveVirtualMemory ( size_t numBytes )

Reserve numBytes bytes of virtual memory.

Call ArchCommitVirtualMemory() on subranges to write to and read from the memory. Return nullptr in case of an error; check errno.
