syscall list
Calls the system call specified as the first element
of the list, passing the remaining elements as arguments to the
system call. The function produces a fatal error if syscall(2) is unimplemented. The
arguments are interpreted as follows: if a given argument is
numeric, the argument is passed as a C integer. If not, a pointer
to the string value is passed.
