SYSARCH(2)		       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
     The  sysarch()  system  call  performs  the architecture-dependent function
     specified by number with the arguments specified by the args pointer.   The
     args  argument is a pointer to a structure defining the actual arguments of
     the function.  Symbolic constants and argument structures for the architec-
     ture-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.

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