- This is the second release of strace for linux, it requires linux
- version 0.99.10 or newer. strace was written by Paul Kranenburg for
- SunOS, I have modified it to work with linux. Read the file README and
- the strace.1 for more info on strace.
-
-
- Changes for this release are:
- - bugfixes
- - support for new system calls and ioctls
- - symbolic output for: termio ioctls, sysv ipc, fcntl file locking,
- statfs and ptrace
- - microsecond time stamps
-
- A lot of the changes and bugfixes for this version were done by
- Rick Sladkey <jrs@world.std.com>, System V IPC support was added
- by Ulrich Pegelow <pegelow@moorea.uni-muenster.de>.

- FILES:
-
- README.first this file
- README the original readme file for SunOS strace
- getioctls script to create the ioctlents.h file for linux.
- Sun/* files from the original package I didn't use
-
-
- Notes:
-
- - With older versions of Linux (before 0.99.10) signals can get lost
- for a traced process.
-
- - strace works best if you have a proc fs mounted on /proc, the
- /proc/##/mem frame buffers are used for reading system call arguments.
- You can use /dev/ram or some other unused block device for mounting
- the proc fs:
-
- mount -t proc /dev/ram /proc
-
- or in /etc/fstab:
-
- /dev/hda /proc proc defaults
