strace is useful for diagnostic, instructional, and debugging. System admins, diagnosticians and troubleshooters will find it invaluable for solving problems with programs for which the source is not readily available.
strace for Linux, added many of the features of Solaris/FreeBSD's truss command from SVR4, and produced an strace that worked on both platforms.
$ strace -o /tmp/output.txt /bin/bash
$ grep '^open' /tmp/output.txt
To see only a trace of the open, close, read, and write system calls, enter:$ strace -e trace=open,close,read,write df > output.txt
Another good option is ltrace - its use is very similar to strace command.
