shoccho / traCer

Github PK Tool:Github PK Tool

This is a very basic implementation of something like strace in linux

This program forks and spawns a child process with the command name provided in as the command line arguments and traces the syscalls that the program makes

I made it just to learn more about how to do some things in c, there is no intention of making this a proper strace like tool that is usefull to anyone

dependencies:

  • linux host ( only x86_64 )
  • gcc
  • make

Installation instruction:

  • clone the repo
  • run make now you have the tracer binary

Usage

after building the executable you can trace any command like strace for example

./tracer echo would output
