+.IR Note :
+glibc provides no wrapper for
+.BR socketcall (),
+necessitating the use of
+.BR syscall (2).
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.BR socketcall ()
+is a common kernel entry point for the socket system calls.
+.I call
+determines which socket function to invoke.
+.I args
+points to a block containing the actual arguments,
+which are passed through to the appropriate call.
+.P
+User programs should call the appropriate functions by their usual names.
+Only standard library implementors and kernel hackers need to know about
+.BR socketcall ().

+.SH VERSIONS
+On some architectures\[em]for example, x86-64 and ARM\[em]there is no
+.BR socketcall ()
+system call; instead
+.BR socket (2),
+.BR accept (2),
+.BR bind (2),
+and so on really are implemented as separate system calls.
+.SH STANDARDS
+Linux.
+.P
+On x86-32,
+.BR socketcall ()
+was historically the only entry point for the sockets API.
+However, starting in Linux 4.3,
+.\" commit 9dea5dc921b5f4045a18c63eb92e84dc274d17eb
+direct system calls are provided on x86-32 for the sockets API.
+This facilitates the creation of
+.BR seccomp (2)
+filters that filter sockets system calls
+(for new user-space binaries that are compiled
+to use the new entry points)
+and also provides a (very) small performance improvement.
