ausyscall:tldr:74e87
This command is a shell command that uses the "ausyscall" utility to dump the system call numbers and their corresponding names for a specific architecture in Linux.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
-
"${architecture}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired architecture. For example, it could be "x86" for 32-bit systems or "x86_64" for 64-bit systems.
-
"ausyscall" is the name of the utility that is used to interact with the Linux Audit System Call (AUSC) feature. It allows you to retrieve information about the system calls supported by the Linux kernel.
-
"--dump" is an option or argument passed to the "ausyscall" command, telling it to output the system call numbers and their names in a human-readable format for the specified architecture. It provides a list of system call numbers and their corresponding names, which can be useful for analysis or development purposes.
Overall, this command helps you access and view the system call interface of the Linux kernel for a specific architecture.
