+"GNU libsigsegv 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, and more.")
