Strace is a process tracer, i.e. a debugging tool that prints out a trace of all the system calls made and signals received by a process itself or a process and its descendants. Strace is similar to the native BSD ``truss'' utility, but it's output style is more convenient in most cases. WWW: http://sourceforge.net/projects/strace/ Maintains: Alex Semenyaka (alex@rinet.ru)
