Sorry for the newbie question..
Is it true that the ipc calls like msgget(),shmget()... are not really system calls?
Cos in the file "asm/unistd.h" where the system calls are listed as __NR_xxx we dont find the appropriate listing for the ipc calls. What I guessed was that all the ipc calls are clubbed under the 'int ipc()' system call and this is well listed in the "asm/unistd.h"
Could some one explain why the ipc is implemented this way rather that implementing them as individual system calls as in UNIX.
Or is it the same way in UNIX
