| 41 | .Sh NAME |
| 42 | .Nm sysarch |
| 43 | .Nd architecture-dependent system call |
| 44 | .Sh LIBRARY |
| 45 | .Lb libc |
| 46 | .Sh SYNOPSIS |
| 47 | .In machine/sysarch.h |
| 48 | .Ft int |
| 49 | .Fn sysarch "int number" "void *args" |
| 50 | .Sh DESCRIPTION |
| 51 | .Fn Sysarch |
| 52 | performs the architecture-dependent function |
| 53 | specified by |
| 54 | .Fa number |
| 55 | with the arguments specified by the |
| 56 | .Fa args |
| 57 | pointer. |
| 58 | .Fa Args |
| 59 | is a pointer to a structure defining the actual |
| 60 | arguments of the function. |
| 61 | Symbolic constants and argument structures |
| 62 | for the architecture-dependent |
| 63 | functions can be found in the header file |
| 64 | .In machine/sysarch.h . |
| 65 | .Pp |
| 66 | The |
| 67 | .Fn sysarch |
| 68 | system call should never be called directly by |
| 69 | user programs. Instead, they should access |
| 70 | its functions using the architecture-dependent |
| 71 | library. |
| 72 | .Sh RETURN VALUES |
| 73 | See the manual pages for specific architecture-dependent function calls |
| 74 | for information about their return values. |
