Description
gpTrace is a free GTK+ application to trace the activities of an external process. You just need only to select an external application to launch, click on the Execute button and view the results. Every syscall (call to a operating system function) will be shown and every external process will be traced in the gpTrace window.
It’s also possible to select which syscalls to intercept to include or exclude in order to limit the results.
For each intercepted syscall you can see how many times a call is made.
You can also see a list of any requested file from the application, regardless of its existance.
If the requested application makes use of external multiple processes you can see the list of any processes, including some basic information.
