# [NAME](#NAME)

scmp\_sys\_resolver - Resolve system calls

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

**scmp\_sys\_resolver** \[-h] \[-a *ARCH* ] \[-t] *SYSCALL\_NAME* | *SYSCALL\_NUMBER*

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

This command resolves both system call names and numbers with respect to the given architecture supplied in the optional *ARCH* argument. If the architecture is not supplied on the command line then the native architecture is used. If the "-t" argument is specified along with a system call name, then the system call will be translated as necessary for the given architecture. The "-t" argument has no effect if a system call number is specified.

In some combinations of architecture and system call, a negative system call number will be displayed. A negative system call number indicates that the system call is not defined for the given architecture and is treated in a special manner by libseccomp depending on the operation.

[**-a *ARCH***](#a)

The architecture to use for resolving the system call. Valid *ARCH* values are "x86", "x86\_64", "x32", "arm", "aarch64", "loongarch64", "m68k", "mips", "mipsel", "mips64", "mipsel64", "mips64n32", "mipsel64n32", "parisc", "parisc64", "ppc", "ppc64", "ppc64le", "s390", "s390x", "sheb" and "sh".

[**-t**](#t)

If necessary, translate the system call name to the proper system call number, even if the system call name is different, e.g. [socket(2)](/man/os/libseccomp/socket.2) on x86.

[**-h**](#h)

A simple one-line usage display.

# [EXIT STATUS](#EXIT_STATUS)

Returns zero on success, errno values on failure.
