I try strace to trace the ifconfig executable. So I run 'strace -o trace ifconfig eth0 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0' I'm only interesting by network call. The proble is that the only syscall is socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_DGRAM, 0) but socket() is not a syscall, is it? The syscall is sys_socketcall() no? Is there a way which will allow me to see the call to sys_socketcall() with its arguments? Should I write a wrapper for sys_socketcall()?
