how to get all invoked system API of a program
 

Hello everyone,


Suppose we have the source codes, how to get all invoked system API (like printf, open, etc.) other than program self-defined API? Are there any existing tools?

Either on Windows or on Linux platform is ok.


thanks in advance,
George

is truss on linux?

strace might do what you want

do man -k system | grep calls

Thank you bigearsbilly!


I have checked that strace can only get the system calls, when the program runs. But as you know, program may invoke different system calls according to different scenarios. So, I think the best way is to analyze the complete list of invoked system calls, is to analyze statically other than dynamically (when program runs) by analyzing the executable file -- other than the running process, agree?


Could strace analyze statically on an executable file other than the running process? Any comments?


regards,
George

Yes, simply run this command:
