# libsigsegv
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
