Re: library function vs system calls

The library call 'system()' and the term 'system call' just happen to have
the word 'system' in them. That doesn't mean they are related in any way.

You can write 'kernel call' instead of 'system call', but it wouldn't
make sense to rename the system() function to kernel().
