Description: A system call tracer
|
|
strace is a system call tracer, i.e. a debugging tool which prints out
|
|
a trace of all the system calls made by a another process/program.
|
|
The program to be traced need not be recompiled for this, so you can
|
|
use it on binaries for which you don't have source.
|
|
.
|
|
System calls and signals are events that happen at the user/kernel
|
|
interface. A close examination of this boundary is very useful for bug
|
|
isolation, sanity checking and attempting to capture race conditions.
