1 / 1 point

Network traffic

Disk writes

System calls

Connection requests
Correct
Awesome! The strace command shows us all the system calls our program made. System calls are the
calls that the programs running in our computer make to the running kernel.
Reproduction Case
A way to verify if the problem is present or
