Hi,
I don't think the API has changed much - here's the javadoc (since then 
we added support for mapped segments and for concurrency, but the bulk 
of the API is the same).

To help you with your use case I'd need first to understand how you are 
going to call that function - is it a native function (I assume)? Are 
you calling such function using the Panama foreign API, or the stuff in 
foreign-abi?
