NAME¶
sysarch
—
architecture-dependent system call
LIBRARY¶
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS¶
#include
<machine/sysarch.h>
int
sysarch
(
int
number,
void
*args);
DESCRIPTION¶
The
sysarch
() system call performs the
architecture-dependent function specified by
number with the arguments specified by the
args pointer. The
args argument is a pointer to a structure
defining the actual arguments of the function. Symbolic constants and argument
structures for the architecture-dependent functions can be found in the header
file
<machine/sysarch.h>
.
The
sysarch
() system call should never be
called directly by user programs. Instead, they should access its functions
using the architecture-dependent library.
RETURN VALUES¶
See the manual pages for specific architecture-dependent system calls for
information about their return values.
