ltrace (library call trace utility) ltrace intercepts and records dynamic library calls which are called by an executed process and the signals received by that process. It can also intercept and print the system calls executed by the program. Upgrade note: If you have /etc/ltrace.conf left over from a previous version of ltrace, you should delete it, unless you've modified it locally. Starting with 0.8.1, the config file has been split up into multiple files and moved to /usr/share/ltrace. The man page ltrace.conf(5) hasn't been updated to explain this, though.
