+ * Returns a pointer to the first state in the allocation.
I have serious doubts that this statement is correct.
"Returns the address of the first state in the allocation" is better I
guess.
Does not even come close to correct.

As my previous hint of 'using this as template for the (hint:missing)
man page' did not work well, may I suggest that you look at the various
return statements in that function and validate whether your proposed
return value documentation is valid for all of them?
Ahh, the error values and such. Righto. Will do. I'll match the style of
similar functions.
