system call problem

hi,
where can I find the detail information about the syscall in binary instructions of linux/mips.

for example, in linux/mips:

li v0, 4140
syscall

it's a syacall of "lseek" , but how can I find that which registers will be used in this syscall , and the meaning of the arguments in the registers.

Thank you very much!
