Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides system for facilitating replacement of a system function in an application with a customized function. During operation, the system shifts an existing load command in a file of an application to accommodate an additional load command. The system also adds the additional load command to the file. The additional load command identifies additional instructions that change a pointer of the application from a value that points to a system function to another value that points to a customized function.
