SYSARCH(2) |
NAME
sysarch —
architecture-dependent system call
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
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.
