+.sh "System operation support
+.PP
+Unless noted otherwise,
+the calls in this section are permitted only to a privileged user.
+.NH 3
+Bootstrap operations
+.PP
+The call
+.DS
+mount(blkdev, dir, ronly);
+char *blkdev, *dir; int ronly;
+.DE
+extends the UNIX name space. The \fImount\fP call specifies
+a block device \fIblkdev\fP containing a UNIX file system
+to be made available starting at \fIdir\fP. If \fIronly\fP is
+set then the file system is read-only; writes to the file system
+will not be permitted and access times will not be updated
+when files are referenced.
+\fIDir\fP is normally a name in the root directory.
+.PP
+The call
+.DS
+swapon(blkdev, size);
+char *blkdev; int size;
+.DE
+specifies a device to be made available for paging and swapping.
+.PP
+.NH 3
+Shutdown operations
+.PP
+The call
+.DS
+unmount(dir);
+char *dir;
+.DE
+unmounts the file system mounted on \fIdir\fP.
+This call will succeed only if the file system is
+not currently being used.
+.PP
+The call
+.DS
+sync();
+.DE
+schedules input/output to clean all system buffer caches.
+(This call does not require privileged status.)
+.PP
+The call
+.DS
+reboot(how)
+int how;
+.DE
+causes a machine halt or reboot. The call may request a reboot
+by specifying \fIhow\fP as RB_AUTOBOOT, or that the machine be halted
+with RB_HALT. These constants are defined in \fI<sys/reboot.h>\fP.
+.NH 3
+Accounting
+.PP
+The system optionally keeps an accounting record in a file
+for each process that exits on the system.
+The format of this record is beyond the scope of this document.
+The accounting may be enabled to a file \fIname\fP by doing
+.DS
+acct(path);
+char *path;
+.DE
+If \fIpath\fP is null, then accounting is disabled. Otherwise,
+the named file becomes the accounting file.
