Segmentation<br />

– It also facilitates sharing functions in a shared<br />

library<br />

» Commonly-used functions (e.g. the graphical user<br />

interface functions of a window system) can be put<br />

in a segment and shared by processes<br />

» Without having to have the functions included in<br />

the address space of every process which uses<br />

them<br />

» This can be done on a paged system, but it is<br />

much more difficult<br />
