The many software interrupts of Linux

Name: Anonymous 2005-12-19 5:04

So I'm working on coverting a project over from a DOS/Windows environment to a Linux environment.  The issue is that there are some custom written interrupt handlers that are used in the project, INT 60h to be exact.  In the DOS/Windows environment, the advantage is that this is a free interrupt that can have the vector address changed without any concerns for f-ing the OS.  However, despite the open-source nature of Linux, I can't seem to find something as simple as a list of all the software interrupts and what they direct to for Linux.

To make a long story short, does anyone know the list of all software interrupts for Linux and what they do, or know of where on the web you find it?  Google is unfortunately not being my friend for this.

You know what, doesn't matter.  I finally managed to find a list of all the software interrupts of Linux.  Linux uses int 80h to invoke its system calls.  That's really all I needed to know before writing my own interrupt calls so I know which interrupts to leave alone.  So no further need for the thread.
