I know it may be stupid, but I can't understand this sentence from malloc(3) man page:

"
The allocated space is suitably aligned (after possible pointer coercion) for storage of any type of object.
"

What does "suitable aligned for storage of *any* type of object" means?
What is pointer coercion? I have no pointer before malloc() returns.
