Can someone explain what the following assembly code does?
int 0x80
9 Answers
int is nothing but an interruption i.e the processor will put its current execution to hold.
0x80 is nothing but a system call or the kernel call. i.e the system function will be executed.
To be specific 0x80 represents rt_sigtimedwait/init_module/restart_sys it varies from architecture to architecture.
