@chapter System Calls
@cindex linking the C library
The C subroutine library depends on a handful of subroutine calls for
operating system services. If you use the C library on a system that
complies with the POSIX.1 standard (also known as IEEE 1003.1), most of
these subroutines are supplied with your operating system.
If some of these subroutines are not provided with your system---in
the extreme case, if you are developing software for a ``bare board''
system, without an OS---you will at least need to provide do-nothing
stubs (or subroutines with minimal functionality) to allow your
programs to link with the subroutines in @code{libc.a}.

* Reentrant Syscalls:: Reentrant covers for OS subroutines

@node Stubs
@section Definitions for OS interface
@cindex stubs
@cindex subroutines for OS interface
@cindex OS interface subroutines
This is the complete set of system definitions (primarily subroutines)
required; the examples shown implement the minimal functionality
required to allow @code{libc} to link, and fail gracefully where OS
services are not available.
Graceful failure is permitted by returning an error code. A minor
complication arises here: the C library must be compatible with
development environments that supply fully functional versions of these
subroutines. Such environments usually return error codes in a global
@code{errno}. However, the Red Hat newlib C library provides a @emph{macro}
2000-02-18 03:39:52 +08:00
definition for @code{errno} in the header file @file{errno.h}, as part
of its support for reentrant routines (@pxref{Reentrancy,,Reentrancy}).
@cindex @code{errno} global vs macro
The bridge between these two interpretations of @code{errno} is
straightforward: the C library routines with OS interface calls
capture the @code{errno} values returned globally, and record them in
the appropriate field of the reentrancy structure (so that you can query
them using the @code{errno} macro from @file{errno.h}).
This mechanism becomes visible when you write stub routines for OS
interfaces. You must include @file{errno.h}, then disable the macro,
like this:
@example
#include <errno.h>
#undef errno
extern int errno;
@end example
@noindent
The examples in this chapter include this treatment of @code{errno}.
@ftable @code
@item _exit
Exit a program without cleaning up files. If your system doesn't
provide this, it is best to avoid linking with subroutines that require
it (@code{exit}, @code{system}).
@item close
Close a file. Minimal implementation:
@example
int close(int file) @{
return -1;
2000-02-18 03:39:52 +08:00
@}
@end example
@item environ
A pointer to a list of environment variables and their values. For a
minimal environment, this empty list is adequate:
@example
char *__env[1] = @{ 0 @};
char **environ = __env;
@end example
@item execve
Transfer control to a new process. Minimal implementation (for a system
without processes):
@example
#include <errno.h>
#undef errno
extern int errno;
int execve(char *name, char **argv, char **env) @{
errno = ENOMEM;
2000-02-18 03:39:52 +08:00
return -1;
@}
@end example
@item fork
Create a new process. Minimal implementation (for a system without processes):
@example
#include <errno.h>
#undef errno
extern int errno;
int fork(void) @{
errno = EAGAIN;
2000-02-18 03:39:52 +08:00
return -1;
@}
@end example
@item fstat
Status of an open file. For consistency with other minimal
implementations in these examples, all files are regarded as character
special devices. The @file{sys/stat.h} header file required is
distributed in the @file{include} subdirectory for this C library.
@example
#include <sys/stat.h>
int fstat(int file, struct stat *st) @{
st->st_mode = S_IFCHR;
return 0;
@}
@end example
@item getpid
Process-ID; this is sometimes used to generate strings unlikely to
conflict with other processes. Minimal implementation, for a system
without processes:
@example
int getpid(void) @{
2000-02-18 03:39:52 +08:00
return 1;
@}
@end example
@item isatty
Query whether output stream is a terminal. For consistency with the
other minimal implementations, which only support output to
@code{stdout}, this minimal implementation is suggested:
@example
int isatty(int file) @{
return 1;
2000-02-18 03:39:52 +08:00
@}
@end example
@item kill
Send a signal. Minimal implementation:
@example
#include <errno.h>
#undef errno
extern int errno;
int kill(int pid, int sig) @{
errno = EINVAL;
return -1;
2000-02-18 03:39:52 +08:00
@}
@end example
@item link
Establish a new name for an existing file. Minimal implementation:
@example
#include <errno.h>
#undef errno
extern int errno;
int link(char *old, char *new) @{
errno = EMLINK;
2000-02-18 03:39:52 +08:00
return -1;
@}
@end example
@item lseek
Set position in a file. Minimal implementation:
@example
int lseek(int file, int ptr, int dir) @{
return 0;

system routine for output to all files, @emph{including}
@code{stdout}---so if you need to generate any output, for example to a
serial port for debugging, you should make your minimal @code{write}
capable of doing this. The following minimal implementation is an
incomplete example; it relies on a @code{outbyte} subroutine (not
2000-02-18 03:39:52 +08:00

provided by your hardware manufacturer) to actually perform the output.

@section Reentrant covers for OS subroutines
Since the system subroutines are used by other library routines that
require reentrancy, @file{libc.a} provides cover routines (for example,
the reentrant version of @code{fork} is @code{_fork_r}). These cover
routines are consistent with the other reentrant subroutines in this
library, and achieve reentrancy by using a reserved global data block
(@pxref{Reentrancy,,Reentrancy}).
@c FIXME!!! The following ignored text specifies how this section ought
@c to work; however, both standalone info and Emacs info mode fail when
@c confronted with nodes beginning `_' as of 24may93. Restore when Info

@ifset STDIO64
@item _fstat64_r
A reentrant version of @code{fstat64}. It takes a pointer to the global
data block, which holds @code{errno}.
@example
int _fstat64_r(void *@var{reent},
int @var{fd}, struct stat *@var{pstat});
@end example
@end ifset

@item _link_r
A reentrant version of @code{link}. It takes a pointer to the global
data block, which holds @code{errno}.
@example
int _link_r(void *@var{reent},
const char *@var{old}, const char *@var{new});
@end example
@item _unlink_r
A reentrant version of @code{unlink}. It takes a pointer to the global
data block, which holds @code{errno}.
@example
int _unlink_r(void *@var{reent}, const char *@var{file});
@end example
@item _sbrk_r
A reentrant version of @code{sbrk}. It takes a pointer to the global
data block, which holds @code{errno}.
@example
char *_sbrk_r(void *@var{reent}, size_t @var{incr});
@end example
@end ftable
