https://multicians.org/mgs.html#segment segment
User-visible subdivision of a process's address space, mapped onto a storage system file. Each segment is 1MB long, and has a zero address. The term "segment" is used interchangeably with "file" -- except not really: the things that are files in other systems are implemented as segments; also, the term "file" includes multi-segment files, and when talking in terms of COBOL, PL/I, or FORTRAN language runtime objects, one speaks of files. Programs are spoken of as stored in (procedure) segments. Correct use of the terms "file" and "segment" is a sure sign of a Multician. |
