SYSARCH(2) BSD System Calls Manual SYSARCH(2)
NAME
sysarch -- architecture-dependent system call
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <machine/sysarch.h>
int
sysarch(int number, void *args);
DESCRIPTION
sysarch() performs the architecture-dependent function specified by number with the arguments specified by the args pointer. args is a
pointer to a structure defining the actual arguments of the function. Symbolic constants and argument structures for the architecture-depen-
dent functions can be found in the header file <machine/sysarch.h>.
The sysarch() system call should never be called directly by user programs. Instead, they should access its functions using the architec-
ture-dependent library.
RETURN VALUES
See the manual pages for specific architecture-dependent function calls for information about their return values.
HISTORY
The sysarch() function call appeared in NetBSD 1.0.
