How does a process sleep on an event in System V?
I came across that, in Unix System V, the events are mapped to an address in the kernel space. And the process sleep on such an event, and an interrupt wakes up a process using this address. But how does that work / how is that implemented?
I am still not getting what they mean by, an event is mapped to an address. Sorry if the question is naive.
