This article documents a developer tool.
A list of available devtools is available, together with installation instructions.


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.

Packages

source: ltrace

binary: ltrace

Usage Examples

Attach to the process with process id pid and begin tracing:

# ltrace -p pid
