Given a number, syd-sys prints the matching syscall name.

Given a regex, syd-sys prints case-insensitively matching syscall names.

Use -e to query errno(3) numbers.

Use -i to query ioctl(2) requests.

Use -o to query open(2) flags.

Use -s to query signal(7) numbers.

Use -u to list UNIX domain socket inodes and names using netlink(7).

For both -u and -U, each line is the inode and name separated by a tab. Abstract sockets are prefixed with @ and unnamed sockets are displayed as !unnamed.

-h Display help.
-a Specify alternative architecture, such as x86, x86_64 and aarch64.
Use list to print the list of libseccomp supported architectures.
-e Query errno(3) numbers.
-i Query ioctl(2) requests.
-o Query open(2) flags.
-s Query signal(7) numbers.
-u List UNIX domain socket inodes and names using netlink(7).
