linux syscall list

Hi all,

Where can I find the last linux syscall list ?

Rafael Costa dos Santos

There is no formal list that I know of. You can look at arch/i386/kernel/entry.S for the names and numbers of syscalls, but for the parameters you would have to grep around for the system call definition.

For the syscalltrack project we have a close to complete of syscalls and their parameters for 2.4, i386, at
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/syscalltrack/syscalltrack/module/syscalls.dat?rev=1.18

Note that such a list is of limited useful utility unless it is tied to a specific kernel version, since the kernel gains new syscalls occasionally. Patches to update the list to 2.5 will be happily accepted ;-)

Cheers,
Muli

../linux-$vers/include/asm/unistd.h

contains the syscall numbers.
