+Intercepting system calls allows one to see the system call number, arguments, and return value.
 One has to keep in mind, that many system-related functionalities are not, in fact, translated to system calls one-to-one.
 For example, \texttt{malloc}~\cite{malloc.3} has no dedicated system call, it is managed by the C standard library internally.
 Many system calls have corresponding wrapper functions in the C standard library (like \texttt{open}, \texttt{close}, \texttt{sem\_wait}).

 During the research on different approaches to intercepting system and function calls,
 it has been found, that the most reliable way to achieve the goals of this work (see Section~\ref{sec:motivation-and-goal}) is to intercept function calls instead of system calls.
-This is because---as long as the programs to test are dynamically linked---, intercepting function calls allows one to intercept many more calls and in a more flexible way.
