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.
