I want to implement a wrapper over the open system call, and I'm using the LD_PRELOAD trick to call my new open.



The problem is that open expects a variable number of arguments, and I cannot figure out how to call open with the same set of arguments, as open cannot take a va_list pointer as an argument(or I do not know of any such function).



How could I achieve this?



code so far:



#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>

typedef int (*open_func_t)(const char*, int, ...)

int open(const char *pathname, int flags, ...)
// some custom code

// what args should I supply to dlsym?
return ((open_func_t)dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, "open"))(args);

  • Then why not make your open wrapper accept va_list*?

  • What exactly do you mean by that? Shouldn't my wrapper expect the exact same args as the call itself?

    Process flags like open() and then call your function with 2 or 3 parameters. open

  • @Tanmay Sachan The code you show here that use dlsym, does jt call syscall open or your wrapper? I am confused
