Where can I obtain a list of UNIX system calls?

Question

Where are some lists of system calls on UNIX?

This wasn\'t my original question, but thanks anyway :)

Answer 1

What operating system, exactly? Man section 2 documents the syscalls, however the complete set varies depending upon what flavor of UNIX you are on.

POSIX.1 defines a standard set of operating system interfaces, however no operating system limits itself to just those. In general you have the BSD and SYSV flavors which have slightly different semantics. However, nowdays the supposed syscalls are actually quasi library functions.

The only TRUE answer requires a specific installation and examination of the file

 /usr/include/syscall.h
