|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In machine/sysarch.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn sysarch "int number" "void *args"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sysarch
|
|
system call
|
|
performs the architecture-dependent function
|
|
specified by
|
|
.Fa number
|
|
with the arguments specified by the
|
|
.Fa args
|
|
pointer.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa 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
|
|
.Ao Pa machine/sysarch.h Ac .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sysarch
|
|
system call should never be called directly by
|
|
user programs. Instead, they should access
|
|
its functions using the architecture-dependent
|
|
library.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
See the manual pages for specific architecture-dependent system calls
|
|
for information about their return values.
