Andreas Kling 2a65f0ee4f strace: Allow "strace command" to trace a process from start to finish.
Tracing a specific pid is now done via "strace -p PID".
To ensure we don't miss any syscalls, we fork and have the child immediately
SIGSTOP itself. Then when the parent has set up the systrace() fd, we send
SIGCONT to the child which then execs the command. :^)

Serenity

Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86 computers.

About

I always wondered what it would be like to write my own operating system, but I never took it seriously. Until now.

Serenity is a love letter to '90s user interfaces, with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by me, for me, based on the things I like.

If you like some of the same things, you are welcome to join the project. It would be great to one day change the above to say "this is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like." :^)

I regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.

There's also a Patreon if you would like to show some support that way.

Otherwise, see the older step-by-step guide to building Serenity
