Thank you for your reply. I see that ---p mean :
not readable, not writable, not executable, private.
What is the purpose of such segment ?
Does it handle memory that is actually used by the process ( like rw-p
segments ) or does it handle memory shared across processes (like
shared libraries r-xp segments for example) ?
