SVL (System Call Virtualisation Layer) is a C++ library that can be used to detect, abort, and rewrite system calls. The possible uses include, but are not limited to, studying the system call trace of a program; sandboxing a program to tighten security; or selectively rerouting system calls, such as file operations, to different paths or even different sytems to create distributed architectures. SVL allows you to change the low level constructs for system call invocation by allowing you access to both the registers and the target program's memory. As well as having the low level access, SVL has high level classes for dealing with the major syscall operation types.
