FreeBSD 15 System Calls Table

Posted on August 28, 2023

A system call is the “tool” used by a software in the userspace to request a “service” to the kernel. The FreeBSD Operating System provides over 400 system calls. They are defined in syscalls.master, this file is processed by makesyscalls.lua to create: init_sysent.c, syscall.h, and so on.

The system calls list has 588 entries (15: unimplemented, 53: nosys/lkmnosys, 46: compat and 72: old/obsolete) for 15-CURRENT at the time of writing. The entry point of a system call is sys_{name}, except syscall and __syscall described below.

This table is partially auto-generated by scanning init_sysent.c and manually filled, indeed its purpose is just a personal study of the FreeBSD kernel.
