Plus points for using strace. It's one of those debugging tools everyone know about for emergencies that can't be solved at a higher level, and a great convenience of using Linux. The Windows ETW system is much harder to use, and I'm not sure if it's even possible at all under OSX security.

The chrome folks built https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2015/04/14/uiforetw-window... to improve ETW usability.

You usually don't need that full industrial level tracing though on Windows! Process Monitor is 95% of the solution for most people, and provides very similar functionality to strace, if a lot easier to read.
