Is there any way to break into GDB when a particular system call
is made? I want to trap every ioctl of a certain type. Short
of scattering thousands of breakpoints throughout the code, I could
find no way of doing this.
In other words, I'm looking for the equivalent of "atb WaitNextEvent"
(if there are any other ex-Mac hackers out there :).
Am I missing the truly obvious? Thanks,
