This is some example code showing how to use the ptrace system call under Linux to trace the system calls of a child process.
/*
ptr_inspect.c
Demonstration code; shows how to trace the system calls in a child
process with ptrace. Only works on 64-bit x86 Linux for now, I'm
afraid. (Even worse, it's only tested on Linux 2.6....)
The callname() function looks clunky and machine-generated because it
*is* clunky and machine-generated.
