	Emergency Call System - Personal Emergency Response System - CISCOR
		An emergency call system (also known as a Panic Alarm, Man Down Alarm System, Duress System, or a Personal Emergency Response System) is available from CISCOR as hardwired emergency call systems, wireless emergency call systems or a combination of the two.
		In the case of a wireless emergency call system, each personal wireless transmitters is continuously monitored for both low battery and operational readiness.
		Optionally, man down system pendants may be equipped with a high security pull chain that activates the man down system pendant should an attempt be made to forcibly remove it from the person carrying it.

	Unix System Calls
		System calls are functions that a programmer can call to perform the services of the operating system.
		System calls are the only way to access kernel facilities such as the file system, the multitasking mechanisms, and the interprocess communication primitives.
		It allows almost all of the UNIX system calls to be executed from Java, using the same arguments and datatypes as the official C calls.

	Adding A System Call
		Likewise, a system call may be used to give users access to internal information of a file system such as superblock or inodes.
		In order to be linked properly, your system calls need the word "asmlinkage" prepended to their function header and "sys_" prepended to the name.
		In case you need to have a system global variable that your new system calls will use to keep states of some kind, which would be the case for implementing a new process synchronization primitive, it might be necessary to initialize the variable at system bootup time.

	ONLamp.com -- Adding System Calls (an OpenBSD Example)
		A system call is a request by a running task to the kernel to provide some sort of service on its behalf.
		In general, the kernel services invoked by system calls comprise an abstraction layer between hardware and user-space programs, allowing a programmer to implement an operating environment without having to tailor his programs too specifically to one single brand or a precise, specific combination of system hardware components.
		The best solution is usually not to write your own system calls, but sometimes they solve problems.

	Kernel Services
		System calls are used to cause the kernel to execute complicated operations, such as writing data to secondary storage, and simple operations, such as returning the current time of day.
		write system call will copy the data to be written from the user process to a kernel buffer while the process waits, but will usually return from the system call before the kernel buffer is written to the disk.
		A system call usually is implemented as a hardware trap that changes the CPU's execution mode and the current address-space mapping.

	System call error handling (Site not responding. Last check: )
		System calls that fail to complete successfully almost always return a value of -1 to your program.
		The system encountered a hardware fault in attempting to use an argument of a routine.
		Because systems will differ in their ability to reliably detect a bad address, on some implementations passing a bad address to a routine will result in undefined behavior.

	System Call Number Definition (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A system call number is a unique integer (i.e., whole number), from one to around 256, that is assigned to each system call in a Unix-like operating system.
		A system call, sometimes called a kernel call, is a request by an active process for a service performed by the kernel (i.e., the core of the operating system), such as input/output (I/O) or process creation (i.e., creation of a new process).
		That is, a system call number is an argument (i.e., input information) that a process must pass to the kernel in order to identify the requested system call.

	Loadable Kernel Module Programming and System Call Interception \| Linux Journal
		System calls are ``gates'' into the kernel implemented with software interrupts.
		The operating system maintains a ``system call table'' that has pointers to the functions that implement the system calls inside the kernel.
		For example, the sys_execve function call can be intercepted to invoke a trojan program instead of the one intended, and system calls such as read and write can be intercepted to perform keystroke logging.

	manu's pages - Sysenter Based System Call Mechanism in Linux 2.6
		System calls provide userland processes a way to request services from the kernel.
		Services which are managed by operating system like storage, memory, network, process management etc. For example if a user process wants to read a file, it will have to make 'open' and 'read' system calls.
		So, to implement system call mechanism, what we need is 1) a way to call ring 0 code from ring 3 and 2) some kernel code to service the request.

	SYSTEM CALL: semctl()
		This call is analogous to the msgctl system call which is used for operations on message queues.
		Both system calls utilize a cmd argument, for specification of the command to be performed on the IPC object.
		Since this particular system call is arguably the most difficult to grasp of all the System V IPC calls, we'll examine multiple examples of it in action.

	Exploring The sendfile System Call - China Linux Forum (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The sendfile system call is a relatively recent addition to the Linux kernel that offers significant performance benefits to applications such as ftp and web servers that need to efficiently transfer files.
		When write is called, data in the application's buffer needs to be transferred to a kernel buffer and then from the kernel buffer to the hardware device (e.g.
		Every time a system call is invoked by a user program, there is a context switch between user and kernel mode, which is a relatively expensive operation.

	Understanding the Linux Kernel: Chapter 10: Process Scheduling
		Several system calls have been introduced to allow processes to change their priorities and scheduling policies.
		We now introduce a group of system calls that allow processes to change their scheduling discipline and, in particular, to become real-time processes.
		Since this system call is usually invoked to lower the priority of a process, users who invoke it for their processes are "nice" toward other users.

	Linux system calls and glibc
		For true ABI compatibility this must be supported by performing system call trap reflections from the code making the Linux system call to the implementation of the system call.
		Most applications gain access to Linux system call interfaces via glibc wrapper functions that present a C interface thereby hiding the architecture specific details of making a system call.
		The portion of the system call that is handled in the user's address space is the part that is allowed by the Linux credentials the user had.

	PHP: system - Manual
		The system() call also tries to automatically flush the web server's output buffer after each line of output if PHP is running as a server module.
		We were using system() to call a Cocoa command-line binary from PHP using Mac OS X. The Cocoa binary was simply not working -- no error message, no logging, nothing, it would just die within moments of launching from the system() function and we'd get no results.
		If no headers have been printed, calling the system() function will flush the headers to the client and insert a newline; no further headers or cookies will be transferred to the browser.

	The fork() System Call
		System call fork() is used to create processes.
		Therefore, after the system call to fork(), a simple test can tell which process is the child.
		System call fork() returns the child process ID to the parent and returns 0 to the child process.

	Linux System Call Table
		My motivation for making this table was to make programming in assembly language easier when using only system calls and not the C library (for more information on this topic, go to http://www.linuxassembly.org).
		For convenience, the kernel source file where each system call is located is linked to in the column labelled "Source".
		This syscall requires a special call method where a pointer is put in %ebx which points to an array containing the six arguments.

	Dr. Dobb's \| Windows NT System-Call Hooking \| July 22, 2001
		When an NT system is diagrammed from the point of view of request paths, Win32 is actually a layer that runs on top of the kernel; see Figure 1.
		Then the kernel is called to actually create or open the specified file, and finally, a third call to the kernel might be made to set some of the file's attributes.
		Although many registry calls perform accesses by handle rather than by a key's path name, NTRegmon is able to display the full path name of virtually every registry request by storing the path names associated with handles in a hash table.

	System Calls - The GNU C Library
		A system call is a request for service that a program makes of the kernel.
		The service is generally something that only the kernel has the privilege to do, such as doing I/O. Programmers don't normally need to be concerned with system calls because there are functions in the GNU C library to do virtually everything that system calls do.
		The remaining arguments are the arguments for the system call, in order, and their meanings depend on the kind of system call.
