gollark: If it doesn't, it would probably have problems.
gollark: User code presumably knows whether what it has is a UDP socket, TCP socket, or file.
gollark: Are syscall numbers scarce somehow?
gollark: I don't see the value in packing multiple different things into one syscall because the arguments happen to be the same when the kernel will have to check and dispatch to different things *anyway*, and user code also has to use a specific known form anyway.
gollark: Realer programmers make everything based on CHANNELS.- Rob Pike
