Hi,

Where to find linux system call definition code?

Thanks,

There's no one place where you can find the code for all the system
calls, its scattered through the code. Look for each system call
separately.

This site is good for browsing the code :

http://lxr.linux.no/+trees

You can search and locate symbols ( functions, variables etc.) in the
code.

Hi,
I think the only way to find out the location of the code is to navigate to /usr/bin folder (where you will find the executables) and then switch to SELinux to find out the path of the original source of the executable.

After installing the kernel sources you get all the source code in the /usr/bin folder, but browsing through it is a pain especially when you are searching for a particular structure defination and that struction has refrences to other structures. Finding function is somehow easy, but structures make u go round and round.

Better use a source code browsing site like koders.com or http://students.mimuw.edu.pl/lxr/ or the one mentioned above.

alternatively you can use a tool called Cscope it is specially meant for big source code browsing. If you have ubuntu 8 you can install Kscope over cscope which will provide you GUI for same thing
