aosp-mirror / platform_external_strace

This is strace - a diagnostic, debugging and instructional userspace utility
with a traditional command-line interface for Linux.  It is used to monitor
and tamper with interactions between processes and the Linux kernel, which
include system calls, signal deliveries, and changes of process state.
The operation of strace is made possible by the kernel feature known as ptrace.

strace is released under a Berkeley-style license at the request
of Paul Kranenburg; see the file COPYING for details.

See the file CREDITS for a list of authors and other contributors.
See the file INSTALL for compilation and installation instructions.
See the file NEWS for information on what has changed in recent versions.
