SYSARCH(2)               DragonFly 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-dependent
     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
     architecture-dependent library.


IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

     For the x86_64 architecture, no architecture-dependent functions are
     defined.


RETURN VALUES

     See the manual pages for specific architecture-dependent function calls
     for information about their return values.
