Subject: write system call location

I have been trying to find the source code for the write system call.
I've checked through all the source code for the kernel and looked around
on the mailling list but can't seem to find it anywhere. I was tracing
the file system operations and reached the function sys_write (which calls
write). Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't belong to the
mailing list so please CC me on the answer. My e-mail is:

Thank you for the help.

Well then you've already found it. And the kernelnewbies mailing list would
probably have been more appropriate in this case.
