Ltrace is a software that monitors library calls during the execution of dynamically-linked programs.
Ltrace is a highly useful debugging program that allows you to track the execution of certain commands until they exit. This program has the added advantage of being able to record and intercept dynamic library calls and the signals received by the executed process while it is executing. It can also print the system calls made by the program for your convenience.
The best part? Ltrace doesn't require the program to be traced to be recompiled, so you can use it on binaries for which you don't have the source code. This feature makes it an ideal tool for sysadmins who need to track the execution of processes.
If you want to keep up with the latest features, you'll be pleased to know that the latest release boasts an array of improvements. These include a pristine source distribution, a new Standards-Version (3.6.1), and a resolved "--indent" option (closes: Bug#265185). With all these improvements, Ltrace is definitely worth checking out!
