Map syscall nr to syscall name

[sahil aggarwal]

Found something easier:

syscallent.sh ( similar to used by strace )

---------------------------------------------------------
cat ${1+"$@"} |
        sed -n 's/^#[   ]*define[       ][      ]*SYS_\([^      ]*\)[
 ]*[^0-9]*\([0-9]*\).*$/\1 \2/p
s/^#[   ]*define[       ][      ]*__NR_\([^     ]*\)[
]*[^0-9]*\([0-9]*\).*$/\1 \2/p
s/^#[ ]*define[ ][ ]*__NR_\([^ ]*\)[ ]*[^0-9()]*(__NR_Linux +
\([0-9]*\))$/\1 \2/p' |
        sort -k2n | uniq |
        awk '
                BEGIN {
                h = "#ifndef _H_SYSCALLENT\n#define
_H_SYSCALLENT\nchar *syscalls[] = { "
                print h
                }

                {
                s = "\"" $1 "\","
                print s
                }

                END {
                f = " };\n#endif"
                print f
                }

        '
---------------------------------------------------------

This creates header file:

#ifndef _H_SYSCALLENT
#define _H_SYSCALLENT
char *syscalls[] = {
"read",
"write",
"open",
"close",
"stat",
"fstat",
"lstat",
"poll",
"lseek",
"mmap",
......
.....
...

}
#endif

---------------------------------------------------------

included in makefile:

ARCH := $(shell getconf LONG_BIT)

ifeq ($(ARCH),64)
        ./syscallent.sh /usr/include/asm/unistd_64.h > $(INCDIR)/syscallent.h
else
        ./syscallent.sh /usr/include/asm/unistd_32.h > $(INCDIR)/syscallent.h
endif

---------------------------------------------------------

Works fine for me. Just want to know if this will be portable method
and won't produce wrong result in any case.?
