Mono.Posix.Syscall Class
The Syscall wrapper class makes it possible to execute the defined system calls. For more information on any of these system calls, the linux manual system (man) has exhaustive information on each syscall in section two: 'man 2 chdir' (or often 'man chdir(2)') for example would give information related to chdir, including error codes, which are in general not listed here.

Remarks

This type is obsolete. Please use Mono.Unix.Native.Syscall instead.

The syscall wrapper follows the posix standard. This means some functionality or flags which are linux specific may not be available. Below is a list of known posix syscall functions and features that are not yet implemented.
