tracexec

Exports execution traces to Perfetto format for visualization in Perfetto UI, enabling process tree analysis and bottleneck identification, as shown in the build system example.

Provides a terminal user interface with pseudo-terminal support for real-time event viewing and interaction, demonstrated in the TUI demo with follow-forks and breakpoints.

Supports tracing setuid binaries with root access, including nested executions, useful for debugging privilege escalation issues like in the sudo ls and extra-x86_64-build examples.

Launches debuggers like GDB for programs executed by scripts, simplifying attachment to processes in complex execution flows, as illustrated in the gdb-launcher video.
