Message-ID: <B563A71F-4ABF-4B81-9B72-A874E43D575B@mac.com> (raw)
Hello. I was recently looking in libc when I noticed a few things
about system calls:
1) brk and sbrk are implemented atop brk_, which is not documented
2) the seek function seems to be a system call, but the alpha folder
defines a function seek which calls _seek
3) Some items in that file have underscores, like BRK_ and _READ
This leads me to the following question: what exactly are the system
calls in Plan 9?
Thanks.
