Did you catch this information? If all you want to do is to
make a new version of a file, owned by the person who accesses the file
(like VAX/VMS), then you trap open with O_RDWR or O_CREAT or O_TRUNC
and make a copy with a numeral appended like: filename.typ;2.

You do this by making a shared object that does what you want.
The total affect upon user-mode code is a delayed (slow) open().
