Hello Garrett:

In src/lib/libc/include/namespace.h (on line 64)
#define     fcntl               _fcntl    

If you look at the _fcntl() definition on line 43 in
src/lib/libc_r/uthread/uthread_fcntl.c
you will see on line 66 the following code

     /* Initialise the file descriptor table entry: */
             if ((ret = __sys_fcntl(fd, cmd, oldfd)) < 0) {

My question is that where is the function definition 
for this  __sys_fcntl() ?

Thanks in advance.

thanks
Saifi.
