NAME

     indir - indirect system call



SYNOPSIS

     (indir = 0.; not in assembler)

     sys indir; syscall



DESCRIPTION

     The  system  call  at  the  location  syscall  is  executed.

     Execution resumes after the indir call.



     The main purpose of indir is to allow  a  program  to  store

     arguments  in  system  calls and execute them out of line in

     the data segment.  This preserves the  purity  of  the  text

     segment.



     If indir is executed indirectly, it is a no-op.
