Sorry, I was talking about manual/startup.texi:
manual/startup.texi:727:@deftypefun {long int} syscall (long int
@var{sysno}, @dots{})
manual/startup.texi-728-@safety{@prelim{}@mtsafe{}@assafe{}@acsafe{}}
manual/startup.texi-729-
manual/startup.texi-730-@code{syscall} performs a generic system call.
