In one sense they are the same, because they are both "signals". However, system call occurs naturally within the design of a hardware system, such a timer pop or some other event arising from the hardware, often on a predictable basis, but also related to asynchronous I/O.

A "signal" could be that or any other source of an interrupt or status information that a program interprets for purposes of making some decision. For instance, a signal could indicate that some loop has reached its limit, returning control to the main program by popping the stack and restoring the program status as before.

What long position is necessary to hedge a short call option?

It depends on whether the short call is covered or naked. If you have a short covered call (you own the stocks you wrote the call on), you wouldn't hedge it--if the call gets exercised you turn over the stocks you own and call it good. If you have a short naked call (you don't own the stock), hedge with a long call that has a strike price no more than the strike price of the short call. Maybe a few bucks less, if you can get it--if the counterparty to your short call exercises it, you exercise your long call, turn over the stock you received. Your profit will be the difference between the premiums on the calls, plus the difference between the strike prices.

What is the difference between selling a naked put vs. selling a naked call?

Selling a naked put is a bullish strategy, and is mathematically the same as a covered call write, where you buy something and sell a call against it. Selling a naked call is a bearish strategy, and is the same as covered short write, where you short something and write a put against it. In either case, you make money from time decay, falling volatility, or a move in the direction that you want.


What happens when you Short a call option?

"Shorting a call" is better known as writing a naked call. Basically, a naked call is a call on a position you don't hold, and it has unlimited risk--if you get exercised and the strike price plus the premium is lower than the stock price, you must make up the difference out of your margin account--or you'll receive a margin call from your brokerage. Many brokerages won't allow you to write a naked call, and the ones that will demand a very large margin account and a lot of experience in trading options.

What is the difference between system call and library function call?

On one level, there is no difference. They are both function calls. The only difference is in what they do. System calls do something the user program cannot do; something having to do with system resources: memory, files, devices, network, terminals, processes etc. However, system calls are usually implemented by library function calls because, at the root of the matter, a C or C++ program can only invoke function calls to call upon the operating system to do things.
