.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
.B ratrace

|
|
|
|
[
|
|
|
|
|

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.I Ratrace
|
|
|
|
|
shows the system calls executed by a process,
|
|
|
|
|
either the one with
|
|
|
|
|
.I pid
|
|
|
|
|
or a fresh invocation of
|
|
|
|
|
.IR command .
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
Trace output is determined by the kernel, not
|
|
|
|
|
.IR ratrace .
|
|
|
|
|
Certain fixed rules apply.
|
|
|
|
|
The first four fields of the output are
|
|
|
|
|
pid, text name, system call name, and the PC of the user program.
|
|
|
|
|
Data is always printed as
|
|
|
|
|
.IB pointer /\c
|
|
|
|
|
"\fIstring\fP",
|
|
|
|
|
where the
|
|
|
|
|
.I string
|
|
|
|
|
is the first 32 bytes of the data, with
|
|
|
|
|
.L \&.
|
|
|
|
|
replacing non-printing ASCII characters
|
|
|
|
|
(printing characters are those between ASCII space (SP) and delete (DEL), exclusive).
|
|
|
|
|
Return values follow an
|
|
|
|
|
.LR = ,
|
|
|
|
|
and include the integer return value,
|
|
|
|
|
the
|
|
|
|
|
.I errstr
|
|
|
|
|
(with "" if there is no
|
|
|
|
|
.IR errstr ),
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
the start and stop times for the system call in nanoseconds.
|
|
|
|
|
The times are exclusive of the overhead for tracing.

.SH BUGS
|
|
|
|
|
The printing of the data is too limited in length;
|
|
|
|
|
printing
|
|
|
|
|
.L \&.
|
|
|
|
|
instead of something more sensible is limiting.
