- Introduction
ltrace is a debugging tool, similar to strace, but it traces library calls instead of system calls.
- Where can I find it
http://www.ltrace.org
- How does it work
Using software breakpoints, just like gdb.
- Where does it work
It works with ELF based Linux systems running on i386, m68k, S/390, ARM, PowerPC, PowerPC64, IA64, AMD64, SPARC and Alpha processors.
It is part of at least Debian GNU/Linux, RedHat, SuSE, Mandrake...
