Re: intercepting system calls?

Hi -

I'd like to catch the system calls that an process is making, so I can
examine the system call and optionally handle it myself. Under Linux and
Solaris, I can use ptrace() with the PTRACE_SYSCALL command, which will
let the process run until it enters or exits a system call.


Is there an equivalent for Darwin? Using a KEXT to patch the system call
table is really not an option...

Doing what you asking to do is really really frowned upon by Apple.

What are you trying to achieve? Just for research?
