Where can I get a good list of what each process state means? I have =
searched the manual pages and handbook and have not been able to find =
answers or explanations for what states such as pfault mean. I know they =
are linked to the systemcalls, but how can I get more info about this?=20

Any information, pointers, or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
