title: What does the "name" parameter mean in the syscall_32.tbl linux file?
body: <p>I am adding some custom system calls to linux Fedora and I am currently trying to update "syscall_32.tbl". The only hiccup is that I am not too sure what the <code>name</code> field for the call table means. </p>
  
  <p>Is this something we just make up? As in a name that we decide to call this particular system call? </p>
  
  <p>For example the structure of the table is: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;number&gt; &lt;abi&gt; &lt;name&gt; &lt;entry point&gt; &lt;compat entry point&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>For the <code>&lt;name&gt;</code> section is this a parameter that we decide on and just enter there? Or is it something more specific like the filename that the system call is located in? </p>
