    [$] Glibc wrappers for (nearly all) Linux system calls
    The GNU C Library (glibc) is a famously conservative project. In the past,
    that conservatism created a situation where there is no way to directly
    call a number of Linux system calls from a glibc-using program. As glibc
    has relaxed a bit in recent years, its developers have started to
    reconsider adding wrapper functions for previously inaccessible system
    calls. But, as the discussion shows, adding these wrappers is still not as
    straightforward as one might think.
