SubjectWherefore 'socketcall'?
From
Date
Does anyone know why the system calls having to do with sockets were
multiplexed together into 'socketcall'? This seems kind of noxious.

I can't seem to find any comments about it, but I have the feeling that it was
done to save on syscall entries. Is this true? Is there some reason why
linux is limited to ~256 syscalls?

Thanks for any hints,
--Mike
