Unit Test 1 Answer Osy

System calls are programming interfaces that allow programs to request services from an operating system kernel. There are three main types of system calls: 1) process control system calls for managing processes, 2) file management system calls for working with files and directories, and 3) device management system calls for communicating with hardware devices. Each system call is associated with a number, and the system call interface maintains a table to invoke the intended kernel service and return the status and any values to the calling program.
