Talk:COMP 3000 Essay 1 2010 Question 2

Not in this group and I'm not completely sure if this is relevant but I found that UNIX used the POSIX standard while Linux used LSB which is based on the POSIX standard. This article outlines some conflicts between them [1]. I didn't find the actual comparisons very comprehensible but the ideas are there. --Slay 15:05, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Uh, where did Figure 1 and much of the current text come from? It looks like it was cut and pasted from random source. Please don't plagarize! --Anil (19:24, 8 October 2010 (UTC))

Look into the reference Article Kernel command using Linux system calls. Plagiarism is not my goal. I'm trying to use my own words to make a simple description of a system call using the interrupt method but its hard to describe it any other way as the author made it so clear. If you can rephrase it, please be my guess. I thought it would be nice to first describe what is a system calls and the two current methods of doing them. The first is the interrupt method. The second which is used in Linux 2.6.18+ is using the sysenter and sysexit instructions.
