Subject: [9fans] Looking for namespace details
Date: Sat,  8 Feb 2003 11:43:09 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3E45339D.7070008@bar.net> (raw)

Hi,
	I'm trying to understand how namespaces are implemented in Plan9, and
I've run into a block.  I started tracing stuff like 'bind' and 'open'
through the source code, and they all point to
/sys/src/libc/9syscall/<blah>.s

All of these (dynamically generated) assembly functions appear to cause
a jump to a dispatch table.  ("INT 64, vec"-- a newbie guess would say
that we're jumping from user space to kernel space?)

My question is -- where is the code for the kernel side of these calls?
