sysarch — architecture-dependent system call
Contents
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.
