NAME

     socketcall - socket system calls

SYNOPSIS

     int socketcall(int call, unsigned long *args);

DESCRIPTION

     socketcall is a common kernel entry  point  for  the  socket
     system  calls.   call  determines  which  socket function to
     invoke.  args points to a block containing the actual  argu-
     ments, which are passed through to the appropriate call.

     User programs should call the appropriate functions by their
     usual  names.  Only standard library implementors and kernel
     hackers need to know about socketcall.

CONFORMING TO

     This call is specific to Linux, and should not  be  used  in
     programs intended to be portable.
