where is the code for read system call?

[Agarwal, Lomesh]

My application reads from socket. I need to change the behavior of read
system call for an experiment. Can someone point me to code?

thanks

Wouldn't it be easier to create a preload-library-wrapper around glibc?

Does not work with statically compiled binaries.
But in an experiment, you are likely to have source and/or dynamically linked
programs.

For future how do I trace a system call to a function in a kernel?

strace. i.e:
	$ strace ls

I thought (maybe I misunderstood) that Lomesh wanted to know
which kernel function (by name) is called for specific syscalls...
and strace will tell the syscall by name, but not the kernel
function names.

If Lomesh wants what I described, then the answer is more like
"see the syscall tables in each $ARCH".
