FreeBSD, Mac OS X, NetBSD, and OpenBSD systems have the ktrace kernel tracer that creates a trace-data file that must be subsequently analyzed with a separate utility, kdump. GNU/Linux systems (all CPU architectures) have the strace system-call tracer. Compaq/DEC OSF/1 Alpha systems have the trace system-call trace utility. SGI IRIX systems have the /usr/sbin/par tool (not to be confused with the /usr/local/bin/par paragraph-reformatting utility) for system-call tracing. Sun Solaris systems have the truss system-call tracer.
