Is there a way to limit the size of the strace output _file_, rather than just the output file buffer, while preserving desired information?
I previously used strace to debug the problem that 20040213 induced in emacs 'desktop', therefore in emacs' startup; nevertheless the resulting strace.out was > 21 MB. Thus I am somewhat hesitant to avail myself of Christopher Faylor Sun, 15 Feb 2004 21:12:02 -0500 > more strace output for the failing condition, meaning that if you do > this: > strace -o strace.out unzip whatever > it should produce a large strace file. (quite the understatement :-) since * the unzip SEGVs typically occur after 30-60 min runtime * I have < 5 GB free space. Is there a way to limit the file size directly, or to script its rotation? Alternatively, is there a recommended mask setting that will preserve the desired information, while not blowing out my disk? I'm assuming 'malloc' would be part of the recommended setting: anything else? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
