When the software flags indicate that the page is allocated and the image

Obtaining a page frame for a virtual page may be an obvious
However, when no idle page frame is available, the system must steal one.
If the page in the stolen frame has been modified in memory, the system
must save the page image on the paging device. The system must alter the

increments the count for pages that have not been used. The system main-
Some systems keep a separate list of pages that have not been modified
