Processes
Processes can be investigated through a variety of tools:
- The files in
/proc/$PID/, in particular/proc/$PID/fd/*: the open files of the process/proc/$PID/environ: the process' environment
straceallows tracing a process' system calls.ltraceallows tracing a process' library calls.
Both `strace` and `ltrace` slow the target process down **a lot**, which might cause problems.
