About: Far pointer

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In a segmented architecture computer, a far pointer is a pointer which includes a segment selector, making it possible to point to addresses outside of the default segment. Comparison and arithmetic on far pointers is problematic: there can be several different segment-offset address pairs pointing to one physical address.
