- * The system library allows to access system services by doing a system call.
+ * The system library allows to access system services by doing a kernel call.
* System calls are transformed into request messages to the SYS task that is
* responsible for handling the call. By convention, sys_call() is transformed
* into a message with type SYS_CALL that is handled in a function do_call().
