4. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) |
segment
/seg'ment/, vi.
To experience a segmentation fault. Confusingly, this is often pronounced
more like the noun ?segment? than like mainstream v. segment; this is
because it is actually a noun shorthand that has been verbed.
|

segment
/seg'ment/ 1. A collection of pages in a
memory management system.

executable program. Unix executables have a text segment
(executable machine instructions), a data segment
(initialised data) and a bss segment (uninitialised data).

4. To experience a segmentation fault. Confusingly, the stress
is often put on the first syllable, like the noun "segment",
rather than the second like mainstream verb "segment". This
is because it is actually a noun shorthand that has been
verbed.
5. A block of memory in a segmented address space.
