41 (description
42"GNU libsigsegv is a library for handling page faults in user mode. A page
43fault occurs when a program tries to access to a region of memory that is
44currently not available. Catching and handling a page fault is a useful
45technique for implementing pageable virtual memory, memory-mapped access to
46persistent databases, generational garbage collectors, stack overflow
47handlers, distributed shared memory, and more.")
