Sys progs debugging Tips & Tricks:

strace is very handy dynamic analysis tool, but extremely verbose.
There how you can tame strace filtering using trace= param:

For example, if you have a program like:

#include <stdlib.h>

int main() {  system( " ls /usr " ); };

which executing some programs inside and you're curious about what it's actually trying to do with which argument?

cc this example and try this:

cc 1.c 

strace -f -e trace=execve,execveat,fork,vfork,clone,clone3,exit_group ./a.out

Output will be like so:

...
[pid 27862] execve("/bin/sh", ["sh", "-c", "--", " ls /usr "], 0x7ffd668ba8e8 /* 64 vars */) = 0
...
[pid 26344] execve("/usr/bin/ls", ["ls", "/usr"], 0x55edbcf792b0 /* 64 vars */) = 0
...

telling us that the "./a.out" prog actually made 2 execve calls, the "/usr/bin/ls" program with "/usr" as its argument was running using shell "/bin/sh".



-- Be careful when making inferences about the user/kernel boundary if only a subset of system calls are being monitored. The default is trace=all. strace(1) man.

Also, there multiple ways to search|list syscalls:

0.

grep exec /usr/include/sys/syscall.h /usr/include/bits/syscall.h /usr/include/asm/unistd*.h

1.

echo '#include <sys/syscall.h>' | cpp -dM | grep exec

2.

ausyscall --dump | grep exec
