     SYSCALL(2)                                             SYSCALL(2)

     NAME
          syscall - indirect system call

     SYNOPSIS
          int syscall(number, arg, ... )

     DESCRIPTION
          Syscall performs the system call with the specified number
          and arguments and returns its result.  The numbers may be
          found in the system source.

     BUGS
          The simulation fails for system calls such as pipe(2), which
          return multiple values.
