## Name
|
||||
|
||||
syscall - test a system call
|
||||
|
||||
## Synopsis
|
||||
|
||||
```**sh
|
||||
$ syscall [-o] [-l] [-h] <syscall-name> <args...> [buf==BUFSIZ buffer]`
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
The `syscall` utility can be used to invoke a system call with the given arguments.
|
||||
|
||||
## Options
|
||||
|
||||
* `-o`: Output the contents of the buffer argument specified as buf to stdout.
|
||||
* `-l`: Print a space separated list of all the Serenity system calls and exit. Note that not all the system calls can be invoked using this tool.
|
||||
* `-h`: Print a help message and exit.
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
Write a string to standard output:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
$ syscall write 1 hello 5
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Read a string from the standard input into a buffer and output the buffer contents to stdout:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
$ syscall -o read 0 buf 3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Get the pid of the current running process:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
$ syscall getpid
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Sleep for 3 seconds:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
$ syscall sleep 3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Create a directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
$ syscall mkdir my-dir 0755
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Exit the program with status 2:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
$ syscall exit 2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## History
|
||||
|
||||
This is a direct port of a utility with the same name originated from the Plan 9 operating system.
