# elixir-syscall
Elixir package for invoking system calls, currently only supported on Linux,
but in future versions support will be added for other operating systems.
## Usage
First, compile the C NIF stubs in `c_src/`:
```
$ cd c_src
$ make
```
This has copied a `syscall.so` shared object to the `../lib/` folder.
Next, execute the test:
```
$ cd lib
$ iex syscall.ex
[...]
iex> Syscall.test
Hello, World!
$ echo $?
42
```
