     1.4 +strace is a system call tracer, i.e. a debugging tool which prints out a trace
     1.5 +of all the system calls made by a another process/program. The program to be
     1.6 +traced need not be recompiled for this, so you can use it on binaries for which
     1.7 +you don't have source.
     1.8 +
     1.9 +System calls and signals are events that happen at the user/kernel interface.
    1.10 +A close examination of this boundary is very useful for bug isolation, sanity
    1.11 +checking and attempting to capture race conditions.
