+Process/Syscall matrix
+======================
+
+System calls in this system:
+ process management: exit, waitpid, fork, exec, kill
+ i/o: read write
+ information: getpid getppid gettime getprio
+ other: sleep, setprio
+
+There is also a "bogus" system call which attempts to use an invalid
+system call code; this should be caught by the syscall handler and
+the process should be terminated.
+
+These are the system calls which are used in each of the user-level
+main functions. Some main functions only invoke certain system calls
+when given specific command-line arguments.
+
+Note that some system calls are nested inside library functions - e.g.,
+cwrite*() and swrite*() perform write(), etc.
+
+ progABC runs for userA, userB, and userC
+ progDE runs for userD and userE
+ progFG runs for userF and userG
+ progKL runs for userK and userL
+ progMN runs for userM and userN
+ progTUV runs for userT, userU, and userV
+ all others run individual main functions
+
