Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk In the March, 1998 issue of Dr Dobb's Journal (#283), there's an article called, "Tracing BSD System Calls" (it's even mentioned on the cover), by this wanker named "Sean Eric Fagan"; it describes the design and implementation of an event-based process monitoring system in the FreeBSD kernel. (The original title of the article was "Event-based Process Monitoring in the FreeBSD Operating System, or, How to Develop a Trussing Relationship with Your Kernel.") I don't know when this will hit the stands; I just got two advance copies from a friend who works there. (I'd hope that the magazine would officially send me some, too, but that hasn't happened yet, if ever.) The article describes the earlier version of the kernel code and truss; the stuff that's in -current is *much* better.
