    Some Programming help

    Hello all,

    Can somebody help me to solve a problem. Actually i need to know if there are any means by which i can get the system calls from an application to the OS. For example, my application accesses the memory in hard disk. is there any way to find what is the system call used and when it is used? Practically what i want to do is to monitor my applications activities..
