Editor to share with you what is the use of the ltrace command in Linux, I believe most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let's go to know it!

The ltrace command, which is commonly used in Linux, is used to track when a process calls library functions.

Ltrace is used to track when a process calls library functions.

Syntax ltrace [option...] [command [arg...]] Option-an aligns the return value of a specific column. -c calculates the time and call, and prints a summary when the program exits. -C decodes the low-level name (kernel level) as the user-level name. -d print debugging information. -e changes the tracked event. -f track child processes. -h print help information. -I print the instruction pointer when the library is called. -l prints only calls in a library. -L does not print library calls. -n,-- indent=NR indents each call level with NR spaces. -o,-- output=file directs the output to a file. -p PID is attached to the process number with the value PID for ltrace. -r prints a relative timestamp. -s STRLEN sets the maximum length of the printed string. -S displays the system call. -t,-tt,-ttt prints an absolute timestamp. -T outputs the time cost of each calling procedure. -u USERNAME uses a user id or group ID to run the command. -V,-- version prints version information, and then exits. -x NAME treat the global NAME like a library subroutine. (for translation) the most basic application of an example, without any parameters:

[guest@localhost tmp] $ltrace. / a.out _ libc_start_main (0x80484aa, 1, 0xbfc07744, 0x8048550, 0x8048540 printf ("no1:%d\ t no2:%d\ t diff:%d\ n", 10, 6, 4no1:10 no2:6 diff:4) = 24 printf ("no1:%d\ t no2:%d\ t diff:%d\ n", 9, 7, 2no1:9 no2:7 diff:2) = 23 printf ("no1:%d\ t no2:%d\ t diff:%d\ n" 8, 8, 0no1:8 no2:8 diff:0) = 23-SIGFPE (Floating point exception)-+ killed by SIGFPE + output call time cost:
