#### The linux syscall tracer

This is strace -- a diagnostic, debugging and instructional userspace utility with a traditional command-line interface for Linux. It is used to monitor and tamper with interactions between processes and the Linux kernel, which include system calls, signal deliveries, and changes of process state. The operation of strace is made possible by the kernel feature known as ptrace.

This snap package of strace is used internally by snapd, when `snap run --strace` is used to debug application
behaviour under snap confinement.
