A System call is a mechanism used by an application for requesting a service from the operating system. Examples of the services provided by the operating system are allocation and deallocation of memory, reporting of current date and time etc.
How System Calls Work on Linux/i86 This section covers first the mechanisms provided by the 386 for handling system calls, and then shows how Linux uses those mechanisms. This is not a reference to the individual system calls: There are very many of them, new ones are added occasionally, and they are documented in man pages that should be on your Linux system.
