mapping between system calls and libc functions

mapping between system calls and libc functions

[James Lee]

Hi,

Where can I find the information about mapping between
system calls and glibs functions?

For example, system call open() is redirected to
__open() in libc.  Can I take this as a general rule?

For example, can I assume that all system calls will
be redriected to as follow?

sn: systen call name

rule:
sn -> __sn

Does anyone know where I should look into to get this
information to get 200 some mapping between system
calls and libc functions?

Thank you in advance.

James

Certainly not in this mailing list, whose purpose is to discuss the
development of GCC.  The implementation of the C library is separate,
GCC just uses whatever C library come with the OS you're using.
