I haven't actually looked, but I think it's pretty standard for
getchar/putchar to just do I/O from some local-to-the-program buffers.
Only when they overflow does it become a real system/library call, but they
look like function calls to the C program.
It's also true that you can play games with incremental linking and symbol
table stripping to insert your own wrapper on a system routine, but I would
not recommend that. It's much too likely to create portability problems.
Signature failed Preliminary Design Review.
Feasibility of a new signature is currently being evaluated.
