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.
