Even though SVR4 has truss, you may prefer using strace for a number
|
|
of reasons. Not the least of which are portability and source code.

|
The main event loop is awkward on systems for which procfs isn't
|
|
pollable. I think a pollable procfs is a Solaris invention so most SVR4
|
|
systems have this weakness. On Solaris, strace runs as a single
|
|
controlling process. This is a big improvement if you are debugging a
|
|
lot of processes at once.

There is no thread support but it wouldn't be very difficult to add it.

There is currently no configure-support yet for UnixWare system. To compile
|
|
on UnixWare 2.1 you need to add the following to config.h yourself:
|
|
|
|
#define SVR4_MP 1
|
|
#define UNIXWARE 2
|
|
#define HAVE_POLLABLE_PROCFS 1
