[Ltrace-devel] Interpreting ltrace output

I don't know the function signature. Is there a way to find that out? What
do the 5 default values mean? Thank you.

Hi -

 

That is the default ltrace output when ltrace doesn't know anything about
the function. You can get prettier output by creating an ltrace.conf file
and adding entries to it.

 

ltrace comes with a default conf file, usually found in /etc/ltrace.conf --
check that file for more information.

 

Once you create a file with entries for the functions you care about you can
run ltrace like this:

 

ltrace -F /path/to/your/conf  <other options> ....

Hello,

How can I interpret the output of ltrace? I see something like this:

funcname(val1, val2, val3, val4, val5) = val6

I can see that the lower val's are the function parameters and val6 is the
return value but what are the others?

Thank you.
