.Dd October 11, 1993 .Dt SYSARCH 2 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm sysarch .Nd architecture-dependent system call .Sh LIBRARY .Lb libc .Sh SYNOPSIS n machine/sysarch.h .Ft int .Fn sysarch "int number" "void *args" .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Fn sysarch system call performs the architecture-dependent function specified by .Fa number with the arguments specified by the .Fa args pointer. The .Fa args argument 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 n machine/sysarch.h .

.Dd October 11, 1993 .Dt SYSARCH 2 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm sysarch .Nd architecture-dependent system call .Sh LIBRARY .Lb libc .Sh SYNOPSIS n machine/sysarch.h .Ft int .Fn sysarch "int number" "void *args" .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Fn sysarch system call performs the architecture-dependent function specified by .Fa number with the arguments specified by the .Fa args pointer. The .Fa args argument 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 n machine/sysarch.h .
p The .Fn sysarch system call should never be called directly by user programs. Instead, they should access its functions using the architecture-dependent library. .Sh RETURN VALUES See the manual pages for specific architecture-dependent system calls for information about their return values. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr i386_get_ioperm 2 , .Xr i386_get_ldt 2 , .Xr i386_vm86 2 .Sh HISTORY This manual page was taken from .Nx .
