+.SH NAME
+syscalls \- Linux system calls
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+Linux system calls.
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The system call is the fundamental interface between an application
+and the Linux kernel.
+.SS System calls and library wrapper functions
+System calls are generally not invoked directly,
+but rather via wrapper functions in glibc (or perhaps some other library).
+For details of direct invocation of a system call, see
+.BR intro (2).
+Often, but not always, the name of the wrapper function is the same
+as the name of the system call that it invokes.
+For example, glibc contains a function
+.BR chdir ()
+which invokes the underlying "chdir" system call.
+.PP
+Often the glibc wrapper function is quite thin, doing little work
+other than copying arguments to the right registers
+before invoking the system call,
+and then setting
+.I errno
+appropriately after the system call has returned.
+(These are the same steps that are performed by
+.BR syscall (2),
+which can be used to invoke system calls
+for which no wrapper function is provided.)
+Note: system calls indicate a failure by returning a negative error
+number to the caller on architectures without a separate error register/flag,
+as noted in
+.BR syscall (2);
+when this happens,
+the wrapper function negates the returned error number
+(to make it positive), copies it to
+.IR errno ,
+and returns \-1 to the caller of the wrapper.
+.PP
+Sometimes, however, the wrapper function does some extra work
+before invoking the system call.
+For example, nowadays there are (for reasons described below) two
+related system calls,
+.BR truncate (2)
+and
+.BR truncate64 (2),
+and the glibc
+.BR truncate ()
+wrapper function checks which of those system calls
+are provided by the kernel and determines which should be employed.
+.SS System call list
+Below is a list of the Linux system calls.
+In the list, the
+.I Kernel
+column indicates the kernel version
+for those system calls that were new in Linux 2.2,
+or have appeared since that kernel version.
+Note the following points:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+Where no kernel version is indicated,
+the system call appeared in Linux 1.0 or earlier.
+.IP \[bu]
+Where a system call is marked "1.2"
+this means the system call probably appeared in a Linux 1.1.x kernel version,
+and first appeared in a stable kernel with 1.2.
+(Development of the 1.2 kernel was initiated from a branch of kernel
+1.0.6 via the 1.1.x unstable kernel series.)
+.IP \[bu]
+Where a system call is marked "2.0"
+this means the system call probably appeared in a Linux 1.3.x kernel version,
+and first appeared in a stable kernel with Linux 2.0.
+(Development of the Linux 2.0 kernel was initiated from a branch of
+Linux 1.2.x, somewhere around Linux 1.2.10,
+via the Linux 1.3.x unstable kernel series.)
+.\" Was Linux 2.0 started from a branch of Linux 1.2.10?
+.\" At least from the timestamps of the tarballs of
+.\" of Linux 1.2.10 and Linux 1.3.0, that's how it looks, but in
+.\" fact the diff doesn't seem very clear, the
+.\" Linux 1.3.0 .tar.bz is much bigger (2.0 MB) than the
+.\" Linux 1.2.10 .tar.bz2 (1.8 MB), and AEB points out the
+.\" timestamps of some files in Linux 1.3.0 seem to be older
+.\" than those in Linux 1.2.10.  All of this suggests
+.\" that there might not have been a clean branch point.
+.IP \[bu]
+Where a system call is marked "2.2"
+this means the system call probably appeared in a Linux 2.1.x kernel version,
+and first appeared in a stable kernel with Linux 2.2.0.
+(Development of the Linux 2.2 kernel was initiated from a branch of kernel
+Linux 2.0.21 via the Linux 2.1.x unstable kernel series.)
+.IP \[bu]
+Where a system call is marked "2.4"
+this means the system call probably appeared in a Linux 2.3.x kernel version,
+and first appeared in a stable kernel with Linux 2.4.0.
+(Development of the Linux 2.4 kernel was initiated from a branch of
+Linux 2.2.8 via the Linux 2.3.x unstable kernel series.)
+.IP \[bu]
+Where a system call is marked "2.6"
+this means the system call probably appeared in a Linux 2.5.x kernel version,
+and first appeared in a stable kernel with Linux 2.6.0.
+(Development of Linux 2.6 was initiated from a branch
+of Linux 2.4.15 via the Linux 2.5.x unstable kernel series.)
+.IP \[bu]
+Starting with Linux 2.6.0, the development model changed,
+and new system calls may appear in each Linux 2.6.x release.
+In this case, the exact version number where the system call appeared
+is shown.
+This convention continues with the Linux 3.x kernel series,
+which followed on from Linux 2.6.39; and the Linux 4.x kernel series,
+which followed on from Linux 3.19; and the Linux 5.x kernel series,
+which followed on from Linux 4.20.
+.IP \[bu]
+In some cases, a system call was added to a stable kernel
+series after it branched from the previous stable kernel
+series, and then backported into the earlier stable kernel series.
+For example some system calls that appeared in Linux 2.6.x were also backported
+into a Linux 2.4.x release after Linux 2.4.15.
+When this is so, the version where the system call appeared
+in both of the major kernel series is listed.
+.PP
+The list of system calls that are available as at Linux 5.14
+(or in a few cases only on older kernels) is as follows:

+.\" instructive about x86 specifics.

+.SH NOTES
+Roughly speaking, the code belonging to the system call
+with number __NR_xxx defined in
+.I /usr/include/asm/unistd.h
+can be found in the Linux kernel source in the routine
+.IR sys_xxx ().
+There are many exceptions, however, mostly because
+older system calls were superseded by newer ones,
+and this has been treated somewhat unsystematically.
+On platforms with
+proprietary operating-system emulation,
+such as sparc, sparc64, and alpha,
+there are many additional system calls; mips64 also contains a full
+set of 32-bit system calls.
+.PP
+Over time, changes to the interfaces of some system calls have been
+necessary.
+One reason for such changes was the need to increase the size of
+structures or scalar values passed to the system call.
+Because of these changes, certain architectures
+(notably, longstanding 32-bit architectures such as i386)
+now have various groups of related system calls (e.g.,
+.BR truncate (2)
+and
+.BR truncate64 (2))
+which perform similar tasks, but which vary in
+details such as the size of their arguments.
+(As noted earlier, applications are generally unaware of this:
+the glibc wrapper functions do some work to ensure that the right
+system call is invoked, and that ABI compatibility is
+preserved for old binaries.)
+Examples of systems calls that exist in multiple versions are
+the following:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+By now there are three different versions of
+.BR stat (2):
+.IR sys_stat ()
+(slot
+.IR __NR_oldstat ),
+.IR sys_newstat ()
+(slot
+.IR __NR_stat ),
+and
+.IR sys_stat64 ()
+(slot
+.IR __NR_stat64 ),
+with the last being the most current.
+.\" e.g., on 2.6.22/i386: __NR_oldstat 18, __NR_stat 106, __NR_stat64 195
+.\" The stat system calls deal with three different data structures,
+.\" defined in include/asm-i386/stat.h: __old_kernel_stat, stat, stat64
+A similar story applies for
+.BR lstat (2)
+and
+.BR fstat (2).
+.IP \[bu]
+Similarly, the defines
+.IR __NR_oldolduname ,
+.IR __NR_olduname ,
+and
+.I __NR_uname
+refer to the routines
+.IR sys_olduname (),
+.IR sys_uname (),
+and
+.IR sys_newuname ().
+.IP \[bu]
+In Linux 2.0, a new version of
+.BR vm86 (2)
+appeared, with the old and the new kernel routines being named
+.IR sys_vm86old ()
+and
+.IR sys_vm86 ().
+.IP \[bu]
+In Linux 2.4, a new version of
+.BR getrlimit (2)
+appeared, with the old and the new kernel routines being named
+.IR sys_old_getrlimit ()
+(slot
+.IR __NR_getrlimit )
+and
+.IR sys_getrlimit ()
+(slot
+.IR __NR_ugetrlimit ).
+.IP \[bu]
+Linux 2.4 increased the size of user and group IDs from 16 to 32 bits.
+.\" 64-bit off_t changes: ftruncate64, *stat64,
+.\" fcntl64 (because of the flock structure), getdents64, *statfs64
+To support this change, a range of system calls were added
+(e.g.,
+.BR chown32 (2),
+.BR getuid32 (2),
+.BR getgroups32 (2),

+Linux 2.4 added support for applications on 32-bit architectures
+to access large files (i.e., files for which the sizes and
+file offsets can't be represented in 32 bits.)
+To support this change, replacements were required for system calls
+that deal with file offsets and sizes.
+Thus the following system calls were added:
+.BR fcntl64 (2),
+.BR getdents64 (2),
+.BR stat64 (2),
+.BR statfs64 (2),
+.BR truncate64 (2),
+and their analogs that work with file descriptors or
+symbolic links.
+These system calls supersede the older system calls
+which, except in the case of the "stat" calls,
+have the same name without the "64" suffix.
+.IP
+On newer platforms that only have 64-bit file access and 32-bit UIDs/GIDs
+(e.g., alpha, ia64, s390x, x86-64), there is just a single version of
+the UID/GID and file access system calls.
+On platforms (typically, 32-bit platforms) where the *64 and *32 calls exist,
+the other versions are obsolete.
+.IP \[bu]
+The
+.I rt_sig*
+calls were added in Linux 2.2 to support the addition
+of real-time signals (see
+.BR signal (7)).
+These system calls supersede the older system calls of the same
+name without the "rt_" prefix.
+.IP \[bu]
+The
+.BR select (2)
+and
+.BR mmap (2)
+system calls use five or more arguments,
+which caused problems in the way
+argument passing on the i386 used to be set up.
+Thus, while other architectures have
+.IR sys_select ()
+and
+.IR sys_mmap ()
+corresponding to
+.I __NR_select
+and
+.IR __NR_mmap ,
+on i386 one finds
+.IR old_select ()
+and
+.IR old_mmap ()
+(routines that use a pointer to an
+argument block) instead.
+These days passing five arguments
+is not a problem any more, and there is a
+.I __NR__newselect
+.\" (used by libc 6)
+that corresponds directly to
+.IR sys_select ()
+and similarly
+.IR __NR_mmap2 .
+s390x is the only 64-bit architecture that has
+.IR old_mmap ().
+.\" .PP
+.\" Two system call numbers,
+.\" .IR __NR__llseek
+.\" and
+.\" .IR __NR__sysctl
+.\" have an additional underscore absent in
+.\" .IR sys_llseek ()
+.\" and
+.\" .IR sys_sysctl ().
+.\"
+.\" In Linux 2.1.81,
+.\" .BR lchown (2)
+.\" and
+.\" .BR chown (2)
+.\" were swapped; that is,
+.\" .BR lchown (2)
+.\" was added with the semantics that were then current for
+.\" .BR chown (2),
+.\" and the semantics of the latter call were changed to what
