NAME
sysarch —
architecture-dependent system
call
LIBRARY
library “libc”
SYNOPSIS
#include
<machine/sysarch.h>
int
sysarch(int
number, void
*args);
DESCRIPTION
Thesysarch()
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.
