Without this, the signals are shown seemingly randomly in the output before the final summary is shown. This is especially noticeable when there is not much output from the application being traced. Discussed with: jhb Relnotes: yes

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility traces the system calls called by the specified process or program.
|
|
Output is to the specified output file, or standard error by default.
|
|
It does this by stopping and restarting the process being monitored via
|
|
.Xr ptrace 2 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
Trace descendants of the original traced process created by
|
|
.Xr fork 2 ,
|
|
.Xr vfork 2 ,
|
|
etc.
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
Show the argument strings that are passed in each
|
|
.Xr execve 2
|
|
system call.
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Do not display individual system calls or signals.
|
|
Instead, before exiting, print a summary containing for each system call:
|
|
the total system time used,
|
|
the number of times the call was invoked,
|
|
and the number of times the call returned with an error.
|
|
.It Fl e
|
|
Show the environment strings that are passed in each
|
|
.Xr execve 2
|
|
system call.
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Include timestamps in the output showing the time elapsed
|
|
since the trace was started.
|
|
.It Fl D
|
|
Include timestamps in the output showing the time elapsed
|
|
since the last recorded event.
|
|
.It Fl S
|
|
Do not display information about signals received by the process.
|
|
(Normally,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
displays signal as well as system call events.)
|
|
.It Fl o Ar file
|
|
Print the output to the specified
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
instead of standard error.
|
|
.It Fl s Ar strsize
|
|
Display strings using at most
|
|
.Ar strsize
|
|
characters.
|
|
If the buffer is larger,
|
|
.Dq Li ...
|
|
will be displayed at the end of the string.
|
|
The default
|
|
.Ar strsize
|
|
is 32.
|
|
.It Fl p Ar pid
|
|
Follow the process specified by
|
|
.Ar pid
|
|
instead of a new command.
|
|
.It Ar command Op Ar args
|
|
Execute
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
and trace the system calls of it.
|
|
(The
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
options are mutually exclusive.)

|
|
# Follow an already-running process
|

The
|
|
.Nm
