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
yup - sorry - my bad - thats what I actually had in mind but did not check. thanks for your correction ! thx! hofrat
