stracetools
A modern Python library for parsing, analyzing, and visualizing strace output with ease.
System debugging and performance analysis often rely on strace to understand application behavior. However, existing tools typically fall short:
- Limited scope: Most tools only provide basic statistics or file access lists
- No programmability: Fixed output formats with no API for custom analysis
- Poor multi-threading support: Difficult to analyze concurrent syscall execution
- No visualization: Raw text output is hard to interpret for complex applications
StraceTools bridges these gaps by providing:
- โจ Comprehensive parsing with full syscall detail extraction
- ๐ง Programmable API for custom analysis workflows
- ๐ Interactive visualizations for timeline and process analysis
- ๐งต Multi-threading support with process relationship tracking
