Lines: 15 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XRN Fodder XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX I have two questions. 1. Is the a.out format in Sys V similar to the BSD one ? 2. If two processes are sharing a page of memory, where is the virtual address of the page mapped on both the processes ? Where does this page lie in relation to the a.out format ? Thanks in advance. harish pu. hi. harish@ecebucolix.ncsu.edu
