As you can see in netinet/in_proto.c, tcp does not use pr_output, but calls=
=20
tcp_output() directly where needed. Depending on what you want to achive i=
t=20
might be enough to hack up tcp_usr_send() and replace tcp_usrreqs.pru_send=
=20
instead. Replaceing tcp_output() is not easily possible. You could start=20
with telling us what you *really* want to do so we can point you to a=20
workable option.
