SITS system calls were done using EMT in loder versions, and TRAP in newer. The system call number makes up the lower 7 bits. Bit 200 can be set to have the call fault on error, in which case a $ replaces the . in the symbolic name.
System call arguments go on the stack.
| Number | Name | Function | Arguments | Return values |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | .NOOP | None | None | None |
| 1 | .FORK | Create new process | Entry point | None |
| 2 | .POOFF | Kill self | None | None |
| 3 | .SLEEP | Sleep | Long word: positive number 60th seconds, or negative time to continue | None |
| 4 | .SINK | Disable floating point | None | None |
| 5 | .FLOAT | Enable floating point | None | None |
| 6 | .INVOK | Invoke capability | Capability and two more arguments | |
| 7 | .QULK | Lock queue | Queue | |
| 10 | .QUNLK | Unlock queue | Queue | |
| 11 | .TTGIV | Give TTY away | Master sphere, and teletype | |
| 12 | .TTGET | Get the TTY | Teletype | |
