## libsigsegv-2.8 – library for handling page faults in user mode

## Description

    This is a library for handling page faults in user mode. A page fault
    occurs when a program tries to access to a region of memory that is
    currently not available. Catching and handling a page fault is a useful
    technique for implementing:

        * pageable virtual memory,
        * memory-mapped access to persistent databases,
        * generational garbage collectors,
        * stack overflow handlers,
        * distributed shared memory,
