Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: transmitting a request from a host device to a target device to intercept a call from an invoking routine to an invoked routine; determining in response to an invocation of the invoked routine whether an interception request has been transmitted by the host device; intercepting the call upon the determination of the interception request from the host device; collecting at least one parameter that is provided as part of the call to the invoked routine; transmitting data representing the parameter from the target device to the host device; modifying the data representing the parameter based upon a characteristic of the host device and the target device; transmitting data representing return information from the host device to the target device; modifying the data representing return information based upon a characteristic of the host device and the target device; and providing the transmitted data representing the return information to the invoking routine of the invoked routine.
