strace Use Example - The Networked Client (Cont.)

We skip some unrelated mambo-jambo, and then '/etc/resolv.conf' is read:

open("/etc/resolv.conf", O_RDONLY)      = 3
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=70, ...}) = 0
old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40013000
read(3, "search actcom.co.il\nnameserver "..., 4096) = 70
read(3, "", 4096)                       = 0
close(3)                                = 0
munmap(0x40013000, 4096)                = 0

Another failed attempt to connect to 'nscd':

socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)         = 3
connect(3, {sin_family=AF_UNIX, path="/var/run/.nscd_socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
close(3)                                = 0
