This repository contains a basic reimplementation of the strace tool.
Before building, ensure that you have the Linux headers installed on your system.
On Debian-based systems, try installing them with apt: sudo apt install linux-headers-xxxx.
Run make all to build ministrace. Run ./ministrace <program> <args> to
trace program.
There is no canonical way to map syscall numbers to names. Therefore, we use the
macros in unistd_64.h to generate a mapping.
Note that we have no information on the number and types of arguments to syscalls. The two possible approaches here seem to be parsing syscall implementations or manually mapping syscall numbers to argument count and types.
NOTE: The syscall extraction was tested on both Debian, Fedora and NixOS.
