system call can be called from either kernel space or user
space(in this case include switch to privilage mode) and
executed in kernel space while library called only from
user programm and may call systemcall to perform it is
function like "printf" that need "write" system call while
other not need kernel at all like sin(),cos().....
systemcall examples : write,read,close,mmap,open,.......
library examples: fopen,fclose,printf,scanf,fscanf,.....

What is structure packing in c?
write an interactive C program that will encode or decode a line of text.To encode a line of text,proceed as follows. 1.convert each character,including blank spaces,to its ASCII equivalent. 2.Generate a positive random integer.add this integer to the ASCII equivalent of each character.The same random integer will be used for the entire line of text. 3.Suppose that N1 represents the lowest permissible value in the ASCII code,and N2 represents the highest permissible value.If the number obtained in step 2 above(i.e.,the original ASCII equivalent plus the random integer)exceeds N2,then subtract the largest possible multiple of N2 from this number,and add the remainder to N1.Hence the encoded number will always fall between N1 and N2,and will therefore always represent some ASCII character. 4.Dislay the characters that correspond to the encoded ASCII values. The procedure is reversed when decoding a line of text.Be certain,however,that the same random number is used in decodingas was used in encoding.
This is a variation of the call_me function in the previous question:call_me (myvar)int *myvar;{ *myvar += 5; }The correct way to call this function from main() will be a) call_me(myvar) b) call_me(*myvar) c) call_me(&myvar) d) expanded memory

You are to write your own versions of strcpy() and strlen (). Call them mystrcpy() and mystrlen(). Write them first as code within main(), not as functions, then, convert them to functions. You will pass two arrays to the function in the case of mystrcpy(), the source and target array.
