Note that you can do system calls directly with system() but that is generaly not how you do it - you to through the glibc calls which do some checks before invoking the actual system call.
system() does a fork/exec of a process. syscall() issues an arbitrary system call, but all marshalling of parameters and return codes becomes your problem
