question

[Brian Craft]

Hey -- I couldn't find an open general glibc discussion list. Is there one?

I've seen the archived discussion of library pre-loading, and the fuss about
exporting functions like __open(). What was the final decision about apps that
need to overload functions -- and particularly system calls?

My app needs to do open()/close() accounting on a predetermined set of files.
I'm concerned about trying to catch the many ways a file can be opened and 
closed, so trying to override the system call seems like the natural thing to
do.

b.c.
