Sorry for the cross-post but this has remained unanswered in FreeBSD-Questions for a week now:

=============

It's probably obvious, but not quite obvious enough for me right now...

Where's there a list of FreeBSD kernel (system) calls?

I can't believe I've never needed one before - I guess I've just used UNIX calls (remembered from the 1980s) or got lucky with the manual.

There's obviously man 2, but you really need to know the name of what you're looking for (or guess from the file names). I could also scan through the 'C' header files.

The Developer's Manual mentions HOW to call a system call (and told me something shocking about Linux I hadn't realised). But nowhere can I find a list - preferably sorted in to sections with a summary, function number, symbolic name, and list of parameters. I'm looking for something a bit more informative than sys/syscall.h!

I bet someone's going to refer me to a man page with a name everyone else knows but I couldn't guess. Counting down....

Thanks, Frank.
