Sy" Subject: Questions on system calls To: hackers@FreeBSD.org Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Hi! We're currently developing a software on FreeBSD platform, and generally, we are not really familiar with system calls. We were hoping you'd take time out to answer these questions. Thanks! 1. Are system calls preemptive? 2. How do we create additional system calls? 3. Do we have to recompile the whole kernel if we create additional system calls? - Humprey -
