quit task is int 0x38


yield task is int 0x39
eax is cleared on yield


syscall is int 0x30
system call number in eax
args in ebx, ecx, edx, esi, edi
result in eax
modifies ecx, edx
modifies eax even if no value is returned
see table 1

file system calls have units of bytes unless otherwise specified
functions returning handles or pointers use 0 to indicate error
see keys.txt for the return type of the "get key" system call
the edx register of "start task" is a pointer to a null-terminated string.
  a pointer to a readonly copy of this string is put into the new task's edx.

invalid system call numbers change eax to -1, and have no other effect.


table 1:
