# IONaturalMemoryCursor

An IOMemoryCursor subclass that outputs a vector of PhysicalSegments in the natural byte orientation for the CPU.

## Declaration

```occ
class IONaturalMemoryCursor : IOMemoryCursor
```

## Overview

Overview The IONaturalMemoryCursor would be used when it is too difficult to safely describe a SegmentFunction that is more appropriate for your hardware. This cursor just outputs an array of PhysicalSegments.
