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 using my own words to make a simple but complete description of a system call using the interrupt method. Check the references and 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.--Sblais2 19:56, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
