It is similar to `installwatch', but works quite differently: +While installwatch uses LD_PRELOAD to intercept library functions like +open() and unlink(), trackfs runs the child program(s) with tracing +enabled and tracks the system calls they make. + +trackfs also includes "playback", which runs a program via trackfs +and creates a shell script which, when run, will reverse all filesystem +changes made by the program. |
