I have used strace on a few occasions, but never developed a real understanding of its capability. Many thanks for explaining clearly what it can do - I shall have a closer look!

Thank you for this knowledge; now I have UNLIMITED POWER! Time to `strace` everything. Spoiler alert, do not `strace` `top`. Happy hacking.:wq

This is such a cool tool I wish I knew about earlier. The ability to see what syscalls and opened files are used by a program, without even needing the source code, is amazing!!
