The best source is the source ;) and is going to be system specific,
the second best source are the man 2 pages (i.e. man 2 <call name>)
I have not checked it in details, but this project seem to implement
some man page parser to use as some input to parsing strace output and
interpreting syscalls: https://github.com/ssavvides/posix-omni-parser/
and may be worth looking at. I have not tried it in any way or shape
though and I would be interested to know if it is any good.
