This is strace - a diagnostic, debugging and instructional userspace utility
|
|
with a traditional command-line interface for Linux. It is used to monitor
|
|
and tamper with interactions between processes and the Linux kernel, which
|
|
include system calls, signal deliveries, and changes of process state.
|
|
The operation of strace is made possible by the kernel feature known as ptrace.
|
|
|
|
strace is released under a Berkeley-style license at the request
|
|
of Paul Kranenburg; see the file COPYING for details.

See the file INSTALL for compilation and installation instructions.

|
|
Older versions without a decent PTRACE_GETREGS support will not work.
|

|
|
Older versions without a decent PTRACE_GETREGSET support will not work.
