>Description:
The "netbsd internals" page (link below) has incomplete information on how to add a system call: it doesn't mention considerations if the new system call requires a new header file (say, adding int sys_bar(struct foo *)). Please let me know if this is valuable, and I can provide the changes as a patch to the documentation source. --kk

All documentation is valuable. Having more complete documentation
would definitely be appreciated. Thanks for the offer!
