A system call is initiated when a program requests a service from the operating system's kernel. This typically occurs through a specific instruction or API function that switches the execution context from user mode to kernel mode. The program specifies the desired service by passing parameters, often using registers or a stack. The kernel then processes the request and returns the result to the user program.
