The user space *doesn't* know that it's a pointer - as you pointed out, it's
up to the programs that reference that data to specify that it's a pointer.
However, the difference between a user space and a data area/data queue etc.
is that you *can* *technically* store a pointer inside a user space, because
the user space can also store the tags etc.

Got it.

Thanks for the education in pointers guys.

The day I don't learn something new on these lists, is the day I'm going to hit the BRS.
