README.md

This folder is the main entrance of the library.

lib.cpp contains the constructor and destructor functions that are called when the library is loaded and unloaded.

The rest of the .cpp files implement extern functions with the same name and signature as the glibc functions. They act as a thin wrapper around the class File in src/file/.

The glibc functions are declared as weak symbols:

> nm -D /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 | grep "fstat@@"
0000000000113e80 W fstat@@GLIBC_2.33

So they can be overridden by our own implementation in this folder.

Note that the actual glibc functions are loaded in posix.h using dlsym.
