A 25-yeаr оld femаle presents fоr dentаl hygiene care. Her recоrds indicate it has been 10 months since her last dental cleaning and exam. She states she scheduled her appointment because her gums "hurt" when she brushes her teeth. She has no systemic conditions and her vitals are within normal ranges. During the dental and periodontal assessment, you record generalized marginal gingival inflmmation, generalized moderate interproximal subgingival calculus deposits, generalized bleeding on probing, with 2-4 mm probing depths. There is no recession, furcation involvement or tooth mobility. She has adequate self-care ability, brushes twice a day and does not use an interproximal cleaning aid.

Give one reason from a security stand point (not from performance perspective) supporting use of library and one against using a library call. (In Linux, a library function executes in the user space and system call executes in kernel space.) [3 + 3pts]
