Updated with output from a Linux VM.

Thank you Laurent_R. I just tried with the -d option and root access is not required. There is space followed by a dot after the -l (letter l as in larry).

mkdir /tmp/phfiles

cd /usr/include
h2ph -d /tmp/phfiles -r -l .

cd /tmp/phfiles
grep sendmsg */*.ph
grep recvmsg */*.ph

Below, the grep output from a 64-bit Linux OS. Thus, the values are 46 and 47 for sendmsg and recvmsg respectively.

$ cd /tmp/phfiles

$ grep sendmsg */*.ph
asm-generic/unistd.ph:eval 'sub __NR_sendmsg () {211;}' unless defined
+(&__NR_sendmsg);
asm/unistd_64.ph:    eval 'sub __NR_sendmsg () {46;}' unless defined(&
+__NR_sendmsg);
asm/unistd_x32.ph:    eval 'sub __NR_sendmsg () {( &__X32_SYSCALL_BIT 
++ 518);}' unless defined(&__NR_sendmsg);
bits/syscall.ph:    eval 'sub SYS_sendmsg () { &__NR_sendmsg;}' unless
+ defined(&SYS_sendmsg);
bits/syscall.ph:    eval 'sub SYS_sendmsg () { &__NR_sendmsg;}' unless
+ defined(&SYS_sendmsg);

$ grep recvmsg */*.ph
asm-generic/unistd.ph:eval 'sub __NR_recvmsg () {212;}' unless defined
+(&__NR_recvmsg);
asm/unistd_64.ph:    eval 'sub __NR_recvmsg () {47;}' unless defined(&

asm/unistd_x32.ph:    eval 'sub __NR_recvmsg () {( &__X32_SYSCALL_BIT 
++ 519);}' unless defined(&__NR_recvmsg);
bits/syscall.ph:    eval 'sub SYS_recvmsg () { &__NR_recvmsg;}' unless
+ defined(&SYS_recvmsg);
bits/syscall.ph:    eval 'sub SYS_recvmsg () { &__NR_recvmsg;}' unless
+ defined(&SYS_recvmsg);

Hi Mario, this is the output of your first grep command:
Read more... (8 kB)
And the second one:
Read more... (11 kB)
I don't make sense on that, but I hope this helps you.

Cheers,

Laurent.

This is great Laurent_R.

sys/socket.ph:              eval 'sub sendmsg () { &nsendmsg;}' unless
+ defined(&sendmsg);

sys/socket.ph:              eval 'sub recvmsg () { &nrecvmsg;}' unless
+ defined(&recvmsg);

I was hoping that the glob wildcard */*.ph would pick up the relevant bits, but did not find the numeric values for nsendmsg and nrecvmsg. The following 3 liners pick up syscall.ph from /tmp/phfiles (hoping you still have this).

require '/tmp/phfiles/sys/syscall.ph';
print "SYS_sendmsg: ", SYS_sendmsg(), "\n";
print "SYS_recvmsg: ", SYS_recvmsg(), "\n";

I wished I had provided the 3 liners requiring sys/syscall.ph from /tmp/phfiles.

Thank you, Mario
