Hi comunity.

I'm a developer new in the FreeBSD world and I'm reading the handbook. I
have a doubt regarding the following code example (page 103):

open:
push dword mode
push dword flags
push dword path
mov eax, 5
push eax ; Or any other dword
int 80h
add esp, byte 16

Why is required the "push eax;" sentence? (I guess a basic assembler concept
unknown to me)

Thank you very much

Regards

Pablo Caballero
