In your own words explain what a System Call is (i.e. calling a function provided by the OS to request some service from the OS). You can use as example either Win32 and/or the POSIX API. In your explanation make sure to mention the switching between User Mode and Monitor(Kernel) Mode. If it helps you can also use a figure in your explanation. In your explanation you may also want to include how a system call (like fork, wait, exec) is different from a Programming Language Library call (like cout, cin, pow, etc). [5 points]
