It represents memory sizes. It works on anything with a sane memory model.

You were mentionning caddr_t earlier. intptr_t and uintptr_t are the adequate types for working with addresses. size_t is the adequate family for working with sizes. POSIX kind-of implies readv, which means that both realms tend of mesh. If you're on something where they don't, you're fucked. Good luck. What are you doing asking questions on an OpenBSD list, btw ?
