Does anyone know of an up-to-date document on Linux system calls and

For example, defining *unlink *and *unlinkat*?
I found this document,
http://www.digilife.be/quickreferences/qrc/linux%20system%20call%20quick%20r
eference.pdf, but it is not up to date and doesn't really define the system
call's purpose - at least to my level of understanding.
We have always considered the man pages to be the ultimate source of
information. You may have use the number 2 occassinally when there are
programs with the same name. For example, "man 2 write".
