Sure you can, assuming that the application does not contain an explicit
declaration like
	extern int getdtablesize();
which would be a pretty safe assumption for many BSD-based applications.

#define	getdtablesize()	NOFILE	/* assuming <stdio.h> is being #included */

Except for the types of the function return and also the "len" argument.
Also, a few uses of bcopy() assume memmove()-like behavior for overlapping
source and destination, in which case memcpy() may not be suitable.
