  Description     : A GNU/Linux file descriptor monitoring tool

Snoop provides a mechanism for attaching to any open file descriptor and 
intercepting data. This can be useful in various scenarios (live user
monitoring being probably the most common).

Inspired by FreeBSD's watch/snp, snoop goes beyond simple tty monitoring
by allowing the interception of any type of file descriptor (currently 
limited to the standard namespace addressable entities though) on the fly: 
regular files, character devices, ttys, ptys, named fifos, etc.
