SYNOPSIS         top

       enosys [--syscall|-s syscall] command

DESCRIPTION         top

       enosys is a simple command to execute a child process for which
       certain syscalls fail with errno ENOSYS.

       It can be used to test the behavior of applications in the face
       of missing syscalls as would happen when running on old kernels.

       -V, --version
           Print version and exit.
