ktrace is a utility included with certain versions of BSD Unix and Mac OS X that traces kernel interaction with a program and dumps it to disk for the purposes of debugging and analysis. Traced kernel operations include system calls, name translations, signal processing, and I/O.[1]
Trace files generated by ktrace (named <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />ktrace.out by default) can be viewed in human-readable form by using the kdump utility.[2]
Since Mac OS X Leopard, ktrace has been replaced by DTrace.[3] The identically-named ktrace program in recent macOS versions does not have the same functions as this utility.
