Binary package “strace64” in ubuntu precise
A system call tracer for 64bit binaries
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.
.
This package containts the 64bit version of the binary, intended for
biarch systems with 32bit userland and 64bit kernel.
.
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.
