2 Introduction

tracefct is a package of routines which help a program keep track of its function calling sequence so that it can provide that information on fatal errors. It also provides a uniform format for messages to stderr which identify the process producing the messages.

Messages have the following appearance:

     # pid: exec-name: message

where pid is the process id number, exec-name is the name of the executable, and message is a user provided message.
