- SunOS includes a nifty command called "trace". It lets you see what system
- calls an arbitrary process makes. Here is the description:
-
- trace runs the specified command until it exits. It inter-
- cepts the system calls and signals of a process. The name
- of the system call, its arguments and result are listed on
- the standard output.
-
- Each line in the trace contains the system call name, fol-
- lowed by its arguments in parentheses and its result. Error
- returns (result = -1) have the error name and error message
- appended.
-
- There is a "trace" command under AIX, but it does something entirely different.
- What is the name of the AIX equivalent to this function?
-

- If you would be so kind as to respond to me or to davidk@r2.com, I would be
- in your debt.
