UNIX & GNU/Linux - System call functions

Submitted by Mi-K on Monday, January 3, 2011 - 10:48pm

List of Linux system call functions.
These functions need one or more appropriate headers for each one of them.

These headers can be found in this directory on your operating system: /usr/include/

And if you want to learn more of them, just write man 2 theNameOfTheFunction on your favorite shell.

Example:

$ man 2 open

Why 2?
Because it is the number chosen for the system call functions.
