Hi,

Is there a way to list all system calls or all functions in say libc
or libsocket in AIX.

Basically I am looking for an equivalent of man -s 2 Intro or man -s 3
Intro on Solaris.

If the above is not available, is there any other way to obtain such a
listing.

Thanks and Regards,
M Shetty

table of contents in the AIX tech reference manual???

$ nm /usr/lib/libc.a | grep ' T '

Thanks a lot for the reply.

Any inputs on how I could do it for system calls?

Another thing that I observed was that most calls that appear as
system calls on other platforms are present in libc on AIX.

I could only find 2 or 3 system calls on the net.. getmsg, putmsg,
putpmsg etc... Are there more?

Besides I couldn't find the man pages... If I could get some help in
locating the Man pages of Section 2...

Thanks and Regards,

/usr/lib/syscalls.exp for both 32-bit and 64-bit system calls.

Because on AIX the system call interface is at the system library
layer, _not_ the kernel.

We don't have a section 2. We have functions, and we have commands,
and functions are spread out through several locations. Documentation
can be found here:
