Function Interception Techniques in Linux

Often times, one finds it necessary to modify the behavior of a user
application or set of user applications but for some reason would rather
avoid modifying the application's source code.  Function interception at
either the shared library level or kernel level may be an appropriate way to
address this need.

There are several different methods for intercepting shared library calls in
Linux (and the other Unices), and at least two techniques for intercepting
kernel system calls. These techniques will be discussed and examples will be
shown.
