ABSTRACT:
A method for determining a copy-on-write condition in a UNIX process which includes providing a page table with an entry identifying a memory page location, and providing the entry with a copy-on-write bit. The bit is transferred to a circuit for processing and, if the memory page is to be written to and the copy-on-write bit is set, a copy-on-write fault is generated.
