    77The [source:soft/giet_vm/giet_kernel/sys_handler.c _syscall_vector] array contains the 64 kernel functions (syscal handlers) defined by the GIET-VM to handle system calls.
    88
    9 == __Miscelaneous syscall handlers__ ==
    10 
    11 === void '''_sys_ukn'''() ===
    12 Function executed in case of undefined syscall
    13 
    14 === void '''_sys_proc_xyp'''( unsigned int* x,  unsigned int*,   unsigned int* p ) ===
    15 This function returns the processor (x,y,p) identifiers.
    169
    1710== __TTY related syscall handlers__ ==
    1811
    1912=== int '''_sys_tty_alloc'''() ===
     13This function allocates a private TTY terminal to the calling task, and registers the TTY index in the task context.
     14Returns 0 if success, returns -1 if not enough terminals.
    2015
    2116=== int '''_sys_tty_write'''( const char*  buffer,  unsigned int length,  unsigned int channel ) === 
    2217This non-blocking function writes a character string from a fixed-length buffer to a TTY terminal identified by the channel argument. If channel argument is 0xFFFFFFFF, the TTY index is found in the task context.
    23 It is non blocking: it tests the TTY_STATUS register, and stops the transfer as soon as the TTY_STATUS[WRITE] bit is set. Returns  the number of characters that have been written.
     18It is non blocking: it tests the TTY_STATUS register, and stops the transfer as soon as the TTY_STATUS[WRITE] bit is set. Returns -1 if no TTT terminal allocated to the calling task. Returns  the number of characters that have been written if a terminal is allocated.
    2419
    2520=== int '''_sys_tty_read'''(  char* buffer,  unsigned int length,  unsigned int channel ) ===
    26 This non-blocking function fetches one character from the terminal identified by the channel argument. If the channel argument is 0xFFFFFFFF, the channel index is obtained from the current task context.
     21This non-blocking function fetches one character from the terminal identified by the ''channel'' argument. If the ''channel'' argument is 0xFFFFFFFF, the TTY index is obtained from the current task context.
    2722It uses the TTY_GET_IRQ[tty_id] interrupt and the buffer must have been filled by the TTY_ISR.
    2823It test the _tty_rx_full[tty_id] variable, read the _tty_rx_buf[tty_id] buffer, writes this character to the target buffer, and resets the_tty_rx_full[tty_id] register. The length argument is not used.
    29 Returns  the number of characters that have been read (0/1).
     24Returns -1 if no TTY terminal allocated to the calling task. Returns  the number of characters that have been read if a terminal is allocated (can be 0 or 1).
    3025

    32 This blocking function try to take the lock protecting exclusive access to TTY terminal identified by the "channel" argument.
    33 It enters a critical section before taking the lock, and save the SR value at address defined by the ''save_sr_ptr'' argument.
    34 It returns only when the lock has been successfully taken.

     27This blocking function try to take the lock protecting exclusive access to TTY terminal identified by the "channel" argument. It enters a critical section before taking the lock, and save the SR value at address defined by the ''save_sr_ptr'' argument. Returns -1 if no TTY terminal allocated to the calling task. If a TTY terminal is allocated, it returns only when the lock has been successfully taken.
    3528
    36 === void '''_sys_tty_release_lock'''( unsigned int  channel,  unsigned int* save_sr_ptr ) ===
    37 This function releases the lock protecting exclusive access to TTY terminal identified by the channel argument.
    38 It exit the critical section after lock release, and restore SR value from address defined by the ''save_sr_ptr'' argument.
     29=== int '''_sys_tty_release_lock'''( unsigned int  channel,  unsigned int* save_sr_ptr ) ===
     30This function releases the lock protecting exclusive access to TTY terminal identified by the ''channel'' argument.
     31It exit the critical section after lock release, and restore SR value from address defined by the ''save_sr_ptr'' argument. Returns -1 if no TTY terminal allocated to the calling task.
