Subjectsystem call syscall
Date
From



Is there a reason some sys call numbers have embbed __ (double) quotes or
(single) _ quotes?

Example:
__NR__sysctl ../include/asm-i386/unistd.h
__NR_sysctl ../include/asm-alpha/unistd.h

Where's any documentation on sys syscall?

Also, it seems there's a number of routines that are public
they aren't used by anyone else (i.e. the do_xxxx, where xxxx is string, etc).

Quickly inspecting the code, can do_sysctl do anything
useful (seems like it also returns an error).

(this was in 1.3.72).
