SYSARCH(2) BSD System Calls Manual SYSARCH(2)NAMEsysarch — architecture-dependent system call
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <machine/sysarch.h>
int
sysarch(int number, void *args);
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 argu‐
ments 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 pro‐
grams. 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.
