Package: strace Version: 4.5.19-1 Architecture: amd64 Maintainer: Frederik Schüler Installed-Size: 376 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7-1) Filename: strace_4.5.19-1_amd64.deb Size: 128022 MD5sum: f1f009f461543ad1d025f1c1f5b7f58c Section: utils Priority: standard Homepage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/strace/ 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.
