syscalls.list Args format

[Kristian Van Der Vliet]

I mentioned a while ago I am working on porting Glibc 2.3.2 to Syllable.  We 
already have a (Badly hacked) port of Glibc 2.1.2 which I am using as a 
template.

Obviously at some point between 2.1.2 & 2.3.2 the format of the "Args" column 
in syscalls.list has changed.  Looking at the Linux version I'm guessing that 
the format is:

<return value>:<arg1><arg2><arg3>...

I can guess that "i" is int and "p" is likely "pointer" but beyond that, I 
could do with a hand understanding the exact format.  Greping the Changelogs 
doesn't give me much useful information.
