SYSARCH(2) BSD System Calls Manual SYSARCH(2)NAME
sysarch — architecture-dependent system call
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <machine/sysarch.h>
int
sysarch(int number, void *args);
DESCRIPTIONSysarch() performs the architecture-dependent function specified by
number with the arguments specified by the args pointer. Args 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 pro‐
grams. Instead, they should access its functions using the architecture-
dependent library.
RETURN VALUES
See the manual pages for specific architecture-dependent function calls
for information about their return values.
