4 you can't strace a socket, strace works on processes, so you can strace all processes that talk to the socket, but you can't use strace to see absolutely all communication involving the socket You may be able to get somewhere with dtrace or systemtap if they're available on your os, but that's quite a bit of work. This article is not about how to use strace tool, its more about analyzing the output of strace tool because while executing strace on a process, it dumps a lot of information related to system calls Note that stracing a process does add additional overhead, so while you're tracing it, the process will run slower Is there a way in linux to check the child processes created by a command I am running a command and it completes execution within 1 second
In this duration, it is difficult for me to analyse the Strace allows you to observe one or multiple running processes at the level of system (kernel) calls Strace may provide you with valuable information for many problem cases, for example.
