truss

Troubleshooting tool for tracing system calls. SunOS equivalent of strace.

  • Start tracing a program by executing it, following all child processes:

truss -f {{program}}

  • Start tracing a specific process by its PID:

truss -p {{pid}}

  • Start tracing a program by executing it, showing arguments and environment variables:

truss -a -e {{program}}

  • Count time, calls, and errors for each system call and report a summary on program exit:

truss -c -p {{pid}}

  • Trace a process filtering output by system call:

truss -p {{pid}} -t {{system_call_name}}
