Hi,
If I am not missing anything and if there is libc wrapper provided for calls to be trapped then I think this can be done userspace. Just write the wrappers for calls to be trapped and and make a shared lib out of it, and then do a LD_PRELOAD of that lib, or add it to /etc/ld.so.preload. So it would look like this, app calls func -> func in your wrapper lib -> actual libc func or whatever you want to call from you lib. This way, you cal trap all calls like open/close etc CMIIW.
