ZFtrace's comprehensive run-time emulator technology allows it to monitor and trace nearly all software. Since there is no need to recompile or relink your programs, you can start finding those problems immediately--in most cases, it's as simple as inserting the word "zftr" in front of the command you use to invoke your program. And since ZFtrace makes no distinction between your code and someone else's, it can help you track down problems in third-party programs that you depend on.
ZFtrace's reports show:-
Details of attempts to manipulate files and directories: create, delete, open, close, stat, write, read, etc
-
System calls and, optionally, stack traces at each call
- File and Line
number information in stack traces
- Optionally trace
all subroutines
- Decoding of
system call parameters at several verbosity settings.
- Decoding of
error return values
- Children created
- and more
- No
source code required
- Works
on stripped executables and libraries
- Works
with any thread package
- Works
on third-party programs and libraries
- Works
