Re: syscall reference

Does anyone know of a good online syscall reference and tutorial for
linux's syscalls. I was going to open a pipe and can't find any references
for the needed sys calls like write read and close.

Chapter 2 of the man pages is the reference for the C language
interface to the system. I'm a bit puzzled that a day or so ago you
were asking for help with a nearly-correct program that created and
used a pipe, and now you're asking about references to write(),
read(), and close() -- calls that your program was using correctly.
