## Command syscall-args ##

Often it is troublesome to have to refer to syscall tables every time we
encounter a system call instruction. `gef` can be used to determine the system
call being invoked and the arguments being passed to it. Requires
[gef-extras](https://github.com/hugsy/gef-extras).

To use it, simply run
```
gef➤ syscall-args
```

For instance,
```
