Hi all, I am trying to port a debugging tool that uses the ptrace interface from Linux to FreeBSD. From what I can tell, the ptrace interface on FreeBSD is pretty similar to the Linux interface; however, it doesn't appear that the FreeBSD interface generate events when the child process forks, calls exec, creates a new LWP, etc. My question then is: Does FreeBSD provide any way to determine from a parent/tracing process if a child process has called fork, exec, exit, or created a new LWP? Thanks for your help, -Dan
