| Wichert Akkerman | d321ff9 | 2002-03-31 18:45:45 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 13 | strace is a system call tracer, i.e. a debugging tool which prints out |
| 14 | a trace of all the system calls made by a another process/program. |
| 15 | The program to be traced need not be recompiled for this, so you can |
| 16 | use it on binaries for which you don't have source. |
| 17 | . |
| 18 | System calls and signals are events that happen at the user/kernel |
| 19 | interface. A close examination of this boundary is very useful for bug |
| 20 | isolation, sanity checking and attempting to capture race conditions. |
