What is the difference between a function call and a system call in an operating system?
Can you explain to me the difference between a function call and a system call in an operating system?
Sure! A function call is a request made by a program to the operating system to perform a specific task. A system call, on the other hand, is a request made by a program to the operating system to perform a privileged task that the program may not have the authority to do on its own.
