strace and ltrace skill for system call and library call tracing. Use when a binary behaves incorrectly without crashing, diagnosing file-not-found errors, permission failures, network issues, or unexpected library calls by tracing syscalls and library function calls. Activates on queries about strace, ltrace, syscall tracing, library interception, ENOENT, EPERM, strace -e, or diagnosing binary behaviour without a debugger.
