I am reading about processes. I came across a topic How a process is created wherein I encountered the following :-The process image as viewed by the kernel runs in its own user address space – a protected space which can't be disturbed by other users. This address space has a number of segments:-a. Text Segmentb. Data Segmentc. User SegmentI still don't understand what does it mean, could someone please enlighten me on this topic.
What is user address space and what is it's purpose?
