This is strace - a diagnostic, debugging and instructional userspace utility
with a traditional command-line interface for Linux.  It is used to monitor
and tamper with interactions between processes and the Linux kernel, which
include system calls, signal deliveries, and changes of process state.
The operation of strace is made possible by the kernel feature known as ptrace.

version 2.1 or later; see the file COPYING for details.
strace test suite is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License
