@naveen : Library calls inturn call system calls . System calls are basically call to specific functions provided in the kernel which does some predefined activities . Library calls inturn call the system calls of the kernel to achieve a specific job . For example malloc() function is built on top of sbrk() system call. malloc is library function which inturn calls the srbk() system call.
Hope this is clear .
