Iknow that this is little OT , but i guess this is the best place where i
'll get the exact answer.
mov eax,5 ; the syscall number for open()
; we already have the filename in ebx
mov ecx,0 ; O_RDONLY, defined in fcntl.h
int 80h ; call the kernel
Now my problem is how the system call 80h knows that only eax has the
required argument and the second argument is in ecx . Why not the first
argument in ecx register ?
thanks in advance
