✨ sysdecode_syscallname(3) ✨

okay so bestie, we're doing the sysdecode_syscallname page today, and it's genuinely a little icon — manual name is sysdecode_syscallname, and it lives in the Library Functions Manual 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

sysdecode_syscallname — lookup name of system calls 🎀

---

🦋 LIBRARY 🦋

library “libsysdecode” — yes that's the one, go link it bestie 🫶

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

#include <sysdecode.h>

const char *
sysdecode_syscallname(enum sysdecode_abi abi, unsigned int code);

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

bestie listen. This function returns a pointer to the name of a system call, okay? And it's identified by code for the process ABI abi. Literally that's the whole vibe. 🔥

So if code specifies an unknown system call, or if abi is an unsupported ABI, sysdecode_syscallname returns NULL. No cap, that's just how it goes 😭

For the list of supported ABIs, see sysdecode(3). Go look it up, iykyk ✨

---

🌈 RETURN VALUES 🌈

The sysdecode_syscallname function returns a pointer to a string on success, or NULL if either code or ABI is invalid. That's it, that's the deal 💀 (and yeah, ABI is capitalized in the original, i'm not fixing it, it's iconic 👑)

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

• sysdecode(3)
• sysdecode_abi_to_freebsd_errno(3)

---

bestie reminder: unknown syscall or unsupported ABI = NULL, every single time. check your values, don't be out here dereferencing NULL in front of everyone 🙈

okay and for the cute sign-off — this page is from Debian, dated October 17, 2016, and it's page sysdecode_syscallname(3) of the manual, periodt 💜🧚‍♀️
