pSOSystem System Calls - Read

3 pREPC+ System Calls
This chapter provides detailed information on each system call in the pREPC+
component of pSOSystem. The calls are listed alphabetically, with a multipage
section of information for each call. Each call’s section includes its syntax, a
detailed description, its arguments, and its return value. Where applicable, the
section also includes the headings “Notes” and “See Also.” “Notes” provides
important information not specifically related to the call’s description, and “See
Also” indicates other calls that have related information.
If you need to look up a system call by its functionality, refer to Appendix A, “Tables
of System Calls,” which lists the calls alphabetically by component and provides a
brief description of each call.
pREPC+ error codes are listed in Appendix B, “Error Codes.” For practical reasons,
they are not listed here, because every pREPC+ system call can return most or all of
the pREPC+ error codes. In addition, errors in other pSOSystem components or
device drivers can be reported by pREPC+ system calls.
