//! This library defines syscall numbers and a [`syscall!`] macro for directly
//! invoking Linux system calls.
//!
//! The [`arch`] modules document available syscall numbers for all supported
//! architectures, and the top-level module re-exports syscall numbers for the
//! current target platform.
//!
//! Syscall results may be inspected with the [`Result*` traits](#traits).
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```
//! # #[macro_use] extern crate linux_syscall;
//! # use linux_syscall::*;
//! # fn main() -> core::result::Result<(), linux_errno::Error> {
//! let stdout: i32 = 1;
//! let hello = "Hello, world!\n\0";
//! let rc = unsafe {
//! 	syscall!(SYS_write, stdout, hello.as_ptr(), hello.len())
//! };
//! rc.check()?;
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! # Safety
//!
//! Very unsafe.
//!
//! Linux syscalls are low-level primitives that operate without any notion
//! of borrow checking or type safety. It is the caller's responsibility to
//! ensure parameters have types, values, and lifetimes appropriate to the
//! syscall being invoked.
//!
//! * The kernel cannot distinguish `*const T` and `*mut T`.
//! * Many syscalls accept complex parameters as pointers to a `struct`. The
//!   caller must ensure such parameters have appropriate layout and alignment.
//! * Syscalls vary between architectures. The same syscall name may have
//!   a completely different signature even on similar targets, for example
//!   `SYS_mmap` on `x86` and `x86_64`.
