+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, and more.")

+ (long-description
+ "Many computer users need to manipulate text files: extract and then
+operate on data from parts of certain lines while discarding the rest, make
+changes in various text files wherever certain patterns appear, and so on.
+To write a program to do these things in a language such as C or Pascal is a
+time-consuming inconvenience that may take many lines of code. The job is
+easy with awk, especially the GNU implementation: Gawk.
+
+The awk utility interprets a special-purpose programming language that makes
+it possible to handle many data-reformatting jobs with just a few lines of
+code.")
