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, and distributed shared memory. </para> &lfs7a_checked; <bridgehead renderas="sect3">Package Information</bridgehead> <itemizedlist spacing="compact"> <listitem> <para> Download (HTTP): <ulink url="&libsigsegv-download-http;"/> </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> Download (FTP): <ulink url="&libsigsegv-download-ftp;"/> </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> Download MD5 sum: &libsigsegv-md5sum; </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> Download size: &libsigsegv-size; </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> Estimated disk space required: &libsigsegv-buildsize; </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> Estimated build time: &libsigsegv-time; </para> </listitem> </itemizedlist> <para condition="html" role="usernotes"> User Notes: <ulink url="&blfs-wiki;/libsigsegv"/> </para> </sect2> <sect2 role="installation"> <title>Installation of libsigsegv</title> <para> Install <application>libsigsegv</application> by running the following commands: </para> <screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr \ --enable-shared \ --disable-static && make</userinput></screen> <para>To test the results, issue: <command>make check</command>.</para> <para> Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user: </para> <screen role="root"><userinput>make install</userinput></screen> </sect2> <sect2 role="commands"> <title>Command Explanations</title> <para> <option>--enable-shared</option>: This switch ensures that shared libraries are compiled. </para> <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" href="../../xincludes/static-libraries.xml"/> </sect2> <sect2 role="content"> <title>Contents</title> <segmentedlist> <segtitle>Installed Programs</segtitle> <segtitle>Installed Library</segtitle> <segtitle>Installed Directories</segtitle> <seglistitem> <seg> None </seg> <seg> libsigsegv.so </seg> <seg> None </seg> </seglistitem> </segmentedlist> <variablelist> <bridgehead renderas="sect3">Short Descriptions</bridgehead> <?dbfo list-presentation="list"?> <?dbhtml list-presentation="table"?> <varlistentry id="libsigsegv-lib"> <term><filename class="libraryfile">libsigsegv.so</filename></term> <listitem> <para> is a library for handling page faults in user mode. </para> <indexterm zone="libsigsegv libsigsegv-lib"> <primary sortas="c-libsigsegv">libsigsegv.so</primary> </indexterm> </listitem> </varlistentry> </variablelist> </sect2> </sect1>
