acct(2) -- enable or disable process accounting
|
The acct() call enables or disables the collection of system accounting records. If the argument file is a nil pointer, accounting is disabled. If file is an existing pathname (null-terminated), recor... |
adjtime(2) -- correct the time to allow synchronization of the system clock
|
adjtime() makes small adjustments to the system time, as returned by gettimeofday(2), advancing or retarding it by the time specified by the timeval delta. If delta is negative, the clock is slowed do... |
arm_drain_writebuf(2) -- drains the cpu write buffer
|
arm_drain_writebuf() will make sure that all the entries in the processor write buffer are written out to memory. Not all processors support this operation (currently only the SA110). Those processes ... |
arm_sync_icache(2) -- clean the cpu data cache and flush the cpu instruction cache
|
arm_sync_icache() will make sure that all the entries in the processor instruction cache are synchorised with main memory and that any data in a write back cache has been cleaned. Some ARM processors ... |
bind(2) -- bind a name to a socket
|
bind() assigns a name to an unnamed socket. When a socket is created with socket(2) it exists in a name space (address family) but has no name assigned. bind() requests that name be assigned to the so... |
brk(2) -- change data segment size
|
The brk and sbrk functions are legacy interfaces from before the advent of modern virtual memory management. The brk() and sbrk() functions are used to change the amount of memory allocated in a proce... |
chdir(2) -- change current working directory
|
The path argument points to the pathname of a directory. The chdir() function causes the named directory to become the current working directory, that is, the starting point for path searches of pathn... |
chflags(2) -- set file flags
|
The file whose name is given by path or referenced by the descriptor fd has its flags changed to flags. For lchflags(), symbolic links are not traversed and thus their modes may be changed with this c... |
chmod(2) -- change mode of file
|
The function chmod() sets the file permission bits of the file specified by the pathname path to mode. fchmod() sets the permission bits of the specified file descriptor fd. lchmod() is like chmod() e... |
chown(2) -- change owner and group of a file
|
The owner ID and group ID of the file named by path or referenced by fd is changed as specified by the arguments owner and group. The owner of a file may change the group to a group of which he or she... |
chroot(2) -- change root directory
|
dirname is the address of the pathname of a directory, terminated by an ASCII NUL. chroot() causes dirname to become the root directory, that is, the starting point for path searches of pathnames begi... |
clock_getres(2) -- clock and timer functions
|
The clock_settime() function sets the clock identified by clock_id to the absolute time specified by tp. If the time specified by tp is not a multiple of the resolution of the clock, tp is truncated t... |
clock_gettime(2) -- clock and timer functions
|
The clock_settime() function sets the clock identified by clock_id to the absolute time specified by tp. If the time specified by tp is not a multiple of the resolution of the clock, tp is truncated t... |
