I did not > understand Carlos how to change the location for files. The glibc malloc tracer functionality can be adjusted with environment variables. Example: MTRACE_CTL_VERBOSE=1 MTRACE_CTL_FILE=./ls.mtr LD_PRELOAD=./libmtrace.so ls mtrace: writing to ./ls.mtr.350802 The appended PID helps keep the files distinct (and includes a sequence number in the event of conflict). In the above example the use of MTRACE_CTL_FILE=./ls.mtr instructs the tracer to write the trace file to the current directory. The tracer appends the PID of the traced process to the ls.mtr file name (and a sequence number that increases monotonically in the event of a name conflict). -- Cheers, Carlos.
