[edit] Description
Ltrace traces both system and library calls.
Ltrace is quite similar to strace the main differences being:
- ltrace can trace also function calls between shared libraries.
- ltrace does not work over clone(). If threading or forking is used, ltrace needs to be attached to the process after that has happened.
[edit] Packages
source: ltrace
binary: ltrace
[edit] Usage Examples
Attach to the process with process id pid and begin tracing:
# ltrace -p pid
