Title: System calls.
Post by: Denis Ivliev on December 23, 2009, 03:42:06 PM

Hello!

I'm a beginner in nasm (Linux), and I want to learn it. But very big problem for me is to find a list of system calls with a good description. Ideally, this list should contain just simple information: which registers and how should be fill, what we will have after interrupt. Couldn't you help me, please? Sorry for bad english.

Linux speaks English??? :)

Hi Denis,

Jeff Owens has put together a package of tools for Linux assembly:

http://linuxasmtools.net/ (http://linuxasmtools.net/)

His "AsmRef" is the best (asm oriented) list of system calls I've found. It is part of the full "AsmTools" package - first thing on the download page - or, you can download just AsmRef separately. Thanks, Jeff!

If you have any questions ("if" is a joke!), maybe we'll be able to help you...

Best,
Frank

The most thorough listing I'v seen of the Linux syscalls can be found at the above sight. Go there and poke around a bit. And don't be put off by the first screen which seems to be mostly in german...most the informational pages are in english (that may be a bit of a put off to if you aren't english-speaking)
