syscalls - overview of MontaukOS system calls
.SH DESCRIPTION
MontaukOS provides 150 system calls (numbers 0-149, sparsely
assigned -- not every number in the range is in use) for
userspace programs. Syscalls use the x86-64 SYSCALL instruction
with the following register convention:
MontaukOS provides 176 system calls (numbers 0-184, with numbers
