This software monitors modifications in the file system caused by specific programs or a set of programs.
This method does impact performance since programs run several times slower with trackfs. However, since trackfs is intended for installation tasks, speed may not be as crucial as it initially appears. On the other hand, trackfs has a significant advantage over LD_PRELOAD because it works with statically linked binaries. With ptrace( ), you can track all transactions, which LD_PRELOAD may miss.
Trackfs has two operating modes. The '-l
The '-b
If the command the user wishes to execute under trackfs's control includes options, they will need to prefix the '--' pseudo-option in front of it. This is necessary because getopt( ) may reorder options and arguments on some systems (such as the GNU version).
