Ltrace

Have you ever played with blocks and tried to build a tower? Sometimes, you might build it wrong and it falls down. Just like that, when we write computer programs, we might make mistakes and the program doesn't work the way we want it to.

But how do we find out what went wrong? This is where ltrace comes in.

Ltrace is like a detective that helps us figure out what's happening in a program. It helps us see which parts of the program are working and which parts are not.

Let's say you have a program that is supposed to add two numbers together, but it keeps giving you the wrong answer. You can use ltrace to look at what the program is doing behind the scenes.

Ltrace looks at all the things the program is using, like libraries and functions, and tells you what's happening with them. It even shows you what values the program is using and how it's using them.

With ltrace, you can figure out where the program is making a mistake and fix it. Just like when you build a tower with blocks, you can see where you went wrong and try again until you get it right.

So, ltrace is like a detective that helps us find mistakes in our programs and fix them.
