snoop

NAME

snoop() - snoop an interactive user

SYNOPSIS

varargs object snoop( object snooper, object snoopee );

DESCRIPTION

When   both  arguments  are  used,  begins  snooping  of  'snoopee'  by
'snooper'.  If the second argument is omitted, turns off  all  snooping
by  'snoopee'.   Security  for  snoop()  is  normally  controlled  by a
simul_efun.  snoop() returns 'snoopee' if successful in  the  two-argu‐
ment  case,  and  'snooper' if it was successful in the single-argument
case.  A return of 0 indicates failure.
