Hi, I have an c++ application which uses the function fork and execvp(). The parent does not wait until the child ends. The parents just creates children and let them do their stuff. You can see the parent program as a batch-manager. I have added a SIGCHLD handler to the program: void...

Hello, I'd like to know whether it is possible to let the parent know who kills its child process. The case is likely as below: if there are four processes, we call them A, B, C and D. B is the child of A, and can be killed by both C and D. if B is killed, then A will receive SIGCHLD from B....

STRACE-LOG-MERGE(1)					      General Commands Manual					       STRACE-LOG-MERGE(1)

NAME

       strace-log-merge - merge strace -ff -tt output

SYNOPSIS

       strace-log-merge STRACE_LOG

       strace-log-merge --help

DESCRIPTION

       strace-log-merge  merges  the output of strace -ff -tt[t] command, prepending PID to each line and sorting the result using time stamp as a
       key.

OPTIONS

       --help Show program usage and exit.

       STRACE_LOG
	      Output file name prefix of files produced by a strace -ff -tt[t] command.

EXIT STATUS

       0      Success

       Non-zero
	      Error occurred: either no argument specified (in that case a usage is printed), or something went wrong  during  the  processing	of
	      STRACE_LOG.*  files.

USAGE EXAMPLE

       $ strace -o sleepy -ff -tt -e trace=execve,nanosleep 
	       sh -c 'sleep 0.1 & sleep 0.2 & sleep 0.3'
       $ strace-log-merge sleepy | fold -w 72 -s

NOTES

       strace-log-merge  does  not work well with strace logs generated by strace -tt invocation that pass midnight, as those lack the information
       required for the proper sorting.  Employing the -ttt option in the respective strace invocation should solve the problem.

BUGS

       strace-log-merge does not perform any checks whether the files specified are in the correct format and implies that only files from a  sin-
       gle strace session match STRACE_LOG.*  glob pattern.

HISTORY

       The initial version of strace-log-merge was written by Denys Vlasenko in 2012.

REPORTING BUGS

       Problems with strace-log-merge should be reported to the strace mailing list at <strace-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>.
