| 0x0101 | `nx_fopen` | | path | len | | | fd | N/A | | 0x0101 | `nx_fopen` | Opens the file at the _len_ bytes long path _path_ and writes a file descriptor to the referenced file into _fd_ (which needs to be a pointer). | path | len | *fd | | status | Implemented |
| 0x0102 | `nx_fclose` | | fd | | | | success | N/A | | 0x0102 | `nx_fclose` | Closes the file which is indicated by descriptor _fd_. This should always be called, otherwise the OS will have to unload files without knowledge of usage. | fd | | | | status | Implemented |
| 0x0103 | `nx_fread` | | fd | offset | mem | n | num_bytes | N/A | | 0x0103 | `nx_fread` | Reads at most _n_ bytes from a file given as descriptor _fd_ and at a specific position _offset_ into a given memory region _mem_. | fd | offset | mem | n | status | Implemented |
| 0x0104 | `nx_fwrite` | | fd | offset | mem | n | num_bytes | N/A | | 0x0104 | `nx_fwrite` | Writes _n_ bytes from a given memory region _mem_ into the file referenced by _fd_ at the given position _offset_, not inserting but either overwriting existing content or appending to the file. | fd | offset | mem | n | status | Implemented |
| 0x0105 | `nx_fdelete` | | fd | | | | success | N/A | | 0x0105 | `nx_fdelete` | Completely delete the file or folder at a given path _path_, which is _len_ bytes long. | path | len | | | status | N/A |
| 0x0106 | `nx_flist` | | fd | mem | | | needed_mem | N/A | | 0x0106 | `nx_flist` | List all files and/or directories at the _len_ bytes long path _path_ and write their NULL-separated names into _mem_. When _mem_ is NULL, _needed_mem_ (which needs to be a pointer to an 32-bit integer) is filled with the appropriate value. | path | len | mem | *needed_mem | status | N/A |
| 0x0107 | `nx_finfo` | | fd | attr | mem | | len | N/A | | 0x0107 | `nx_finfo` | Writes the information about the files attribute _attr_ into mem. Types of attributes are described below. | fd | attr | mem | | status | N/A |
### Memory **Note:** The _len_ argument of paths isn't used at the moment, rather than using _len_, _path_ needs to be Null-Terminated.

## Kernel
The kernel syscalls can only be called from the kernels main process [link to processing article needed]. The kernel syscalls can only be called from the kernels main process [link to processing article needed].
If another process calls them, they will just return without doing anything. If another process calls them, they will just return without doing anything.
