If so, is this just a programming interface in the kernel not used in any programs yet (meaning I should write my own), or is there a snoop command around? I did a locate (or find ...etc) and turned up several c files and an h file, but no binaries or documentation. If this is not what I think it is.. ;).. Oh well.
