al@19168 1 strace is a system call tracer, i.e. a debugging tool which prints out a trace
al@19168 2 of all the system calls made by a another process/program. The program to be
al@19168 3 traced need not be recompiled for this, so you can use it on binaries for which
al@19168 4 you don't have source.
al@19168 5
al@19168 6 System calls and signals are events that happen at the user/kernel interface.
al@19168 7 A close examination of this boundary is very useful for bug isolation, sanity
al@19168 8 checking and attempting to capture race conditions.
