Developer Guide

This part of the book is for contributors changing tracexec itself.

Start with Internal Architecture for the crate layout, then read Backend Differences before changing code shared by ptrace and eBPF. Event System documents the messages passed from a backend to a frontend and the parent links used by the TUI.

The remaining chapters cover the practical work:

• Tests explains the normal, privileged, eBPF, and verifier test suites.
• Checklist for Cutting a Release lists the release steps.
• Maintaining this Book describes the local book workflow and media policy.

All crates in this workspace are implementation details. If code looks useful outside tracexec, discuss extracting a supported library before depending on an internal crate.
