-.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.
-.P
-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.
-.P
-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 Linux 1.2 kernel was initiated from a branch of
-Linux 1.0.6 via the Linux 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
-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; and the Linux 6.x kernel series,
-which followed on from Linux 5.19.
-.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.
-.P
-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:

-.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.
-.P
-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 system 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),
-.BR setresuid32 (2)),
-superseding earlier calls of the same name without the
-"32" suffix.
-.IP \[bu]
-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),

-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.

-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.

-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 ().
