Syscall Interface

The Syscall Interface (system call interface) is a way for computer programs to communicate with the operating system. When software needs to perform tasks like reading files, accessing hardware, or creating processes, it makes a request through the syscall. Think of it like a restaurant menu: the program orders what it needs from the operating system, which then handles the request and returns the result. This interface ensures that programs can safely and effectively interact with the underlying system while maintaining security and stability.
