| 15 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | B<vsys> is a development tool to make AFS system calls from the command | |
| 18 | line. <I<call number>> is the AFS system call to be invoked. <I<parms>>+ | |
| 19 | are the values to pass to the system call. Knowledge of the AFS system | |
| 20 | call layer is required to know valid call numbers and parameters. | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | =head1 CAUTIONS | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | B<vsys> is intended for debugging AFS at a low level and is therefore | |
| 25 | intended for AFS developers. System Administrators and AFS users should | |
| 26 | use the higher-level interfaces provided by L<fs(1)>, L<aklog(1)>, | |
| 27 | L<klog(1)>, and L<pagsh(1)> instead. | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | B<vsys> provides a way to pass arbitrary data into the AFS system call | |
| 30 | mechanism. Caution should be taken when using or providing this binary on | |
| 31 | a system, as incorrect use as a privileged user could cause a system to | |
| 32 | panic, hang, or perform an unsafe operation. | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | The issuer must be logged in as the local superuser root. | |
