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.
