NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     sysarch -- architecture-dependent system call

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <machine/sysarch.h>

     int
     sysarch(int number, void *args);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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 architecturedependent
 library.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

     See the manual pages for specific architecture-dependent system calls for
     information about their return values.
