+    longDescription = ''
+      GNU libsigsegv is a library for handling page faults in user mode. A
+      page fault occurs when a program tries to access to a region of memory
+      that is currently not available. Catching and handling a page fault is
+      a useful technique for implementing pageable virtual memory,
+      memory-mapped access to persistent databases, generational garbage
+      collectors, stack overflow handlers, distributed shared memory, and
+      more.
