digitalmars.D.learn - Any special linking for _NSGetExecutablePath on OSX?

I need to use OSX's _NSGetExecutablePath, and I've declared it:

extern(C) int _NSGetExecutablePath(char* buf, uint* bufsize);

I don't have access to a OSX box to test it on ATM, so I need to know: Is 
there anything I need to tell the linker (like, anything special I need to 
explicitly link in) in order to get that to work, or should it "just work"? 
(ie, is whatever library is needed for that already linked by default?)

I haven't used the function before, but after looking it up really 
quickly, that declaration looks good to go. Since it's part of the 
dynamic linker, I can't imagine that a library would have to be linked 
in for it to work.

It's automatically linked.
