RHEA-2019:4135 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

New devtoolset-9-strace packages are now available as a part of Red Hat Developer Toolset for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Description

The strace utility intercepts and records the system calls that are made and received by a running process and prints a record of each system call, its arguments, and its return value to standard error output or a file. It is often used for problem diagnoses, debugging, and for instructional purposes. The devtoolset-9-strace packages provide the Red Hat Developer Toolset 9 version of strace.

This enhancement update adds the devtoolset-9-strace packages to Red Hat Developer Toolset. (BZ#1666405, BZ#1746478, BZ#1746885)

For detailed changes in this release, see the Red Hat Developer Toolset 9.0 User Guide linked from the References section.
