Option 4 : 1, 2 and 3

System calls:

  • System calls provide the interface between a process and the operating system. These calls are generally available as assembly-language instructions.
  • Some systems may allow system calls to be made directly from a high-level language program, in which case the calls normally resemble predefined function or subroutine calls.
  • They may generate a call run time routine that makes the system call or the system call may be generated directly in-line.
  • Several languages such as C, Biss, PL/360 and PERL have been defined to replace assembly language for systems programming. These languages allow system calls to be made directly.
  • System calls occur in different ways, depending on the computer in use. The exact type and amount of information vary according to the particular operating system and call.
