MDOS makes frequent use of XOPs and offers them for user programs. An XOP (extended operation) is a special command of the TMS processor family which causes a context switch, transferring control to a location that is specified in a table.
Compared to common architecture concepts, the XOP is TI's way of implementing a system call. All system calls are XOP 0 with specific arguments:
ARGUM  DATA <number>
       ...
       XOP  @ARGUM,0
       ...
| XOP argument | Category | 
|---|---|
| 5 | Keyboard | 
| 6 | Video display | 
| 7 | Memory Management | 
| 8 | Device Operation | 
| 9 | Utility functions | 
| 10 | Mathematical functions |
