This Perl interface allows users to utilize the ptrace(2) command in order to trace system call activity within a program. It provides an efficient means of monitoring and debugging system and process events.
Sys::Ptrace is a Perl interface that provides access to the ptrace command. It allows users to debug, test and analyze programs or scripts. The SYNOPSIS provides an example of how to use Sys::Ptrace by importing the ptrace command and PTRACE_TRACEME function to trace the current process.
The EXAMPLES section shows how to use Sys::Ptrace with different functions like PTRACE_SYSCALL, PTRACE_CONT and PTRACE_TRACEME. These functions can be used to debug and test programs for which the source code is either unavailable or unknown.
Overall, Sys::Ptrace can be useful for developers and testers who want to analyze the behavior of third-party code or scripts that have been compiled into binary files. It provides an efficient way to trace system calls, signals, and other events that occur during program execution.
