+Retrieve information about the syscall that caused the stop.
+The information is placed into the buffer pointed by
+.I data
+argument, which should be a pointer to a buffer of type
+.IR "struct ptrace_syscall_info" .
+The
+.I addr
+argument contains the size of the buffer pointed to
+by
+.I data
+argument (i.e.,
+.IR "sizeof(struct ptrace_syscall_info)" ).
+The return value contains the number of bytes available
+to be written by the kernel.
+If the size of data to be written by the kernel exceeds the size
+specified by
+.I addr
+argument, the output is truncated.
