/seg'ment/ 1. A collection of pages in a

2. A separately relocatable section of an
executable program. Unix executables have a text segment
(executable machine instructions), a data segment
(initialised data) and a bss segment (uninitialised data).
3. network segment.
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.

/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.

Segmentation of the ovum, or Egg cleavage (Biol.), the
process by which the embryos of all the higher plants and
animals are derived from the germ cell. In the simplest
case, that of small ova destitute of food yolk, the ovum
or egg divides into two similar halves or segments
(blastomeres), each of these again divides into two, and
so on, thus giving rise to a mass of cells (mulberry mass,
or morula), all equal and similar, from the growth and
development of which the future animal is to be formed.
This constitutes regular segmentation. Quite frequently,
however, the equality and regularity of cleavage is
interfered with by the presence of food yolk, from which
results unequal segmentation. See Holoblastic,

bss segment
(foldoc) | Block Started by Symbol
BSS segment
(BSS) The uninitialised data segment produced by
Unix linkers. Objects in the bss segment have only a name
and a size but no value.
Executable code is located in the code segment and
initialised data in the data segment.

code segment
(foldoc) | code segment
text segment
(Intel 8086 CS) The area of memory containing the
machine code instructions of a program. The code segment
of a program may be shared between multiple processes running
that code so long as none of them tries to modify it.
Unix, confusingly, calls this the "text segment" and the
area for uninitialied data, the bss segment.
Initialised data is located in the data segment.

maximum segment size
(foldoc) | maximum segment size
MSS
(MSS) The maximum amount of TCP data that a
node can send in one segment. This should be the size of
the receiver's reassembly buffer to try to avoid
fragmentation.
The equivalent at the physical layer is "{Maximum
Transmission Unit}".
(1998-03-06)
|
network segment
(foldoc) | network segment
A part of an Ethernet or other network, on
which all message traffic is common to all nodes, i.e. it is
broadcast from one node on the segment and received by all
others. This is normally because the segment is a single
continuous conductor, though it may include repeaters(?).
Since all nodes share the physical medium, {collision
detection} or some other protocol is required to determine
whether a message was transmitted without interference from
other nodes. The receiving node inspects the destination
address of a packet to tell if it was (one of) the intended
recipient(s).
Communication between nodes on different segments is via one
or more routers.
