The command 'extrace' does not appear to be a standard, widely recognized, or documented utility in typical Linux distributions. While the term 'extrace' (or 'eXtrace', 'Extended Trace') might refer to specific tracing functionalities within specialized debugging tools, embedded systems development environments, or proprietary software (e.g., related to ARM debuggers, JTAG interfaces, or custom tracing frameworks), it is not a general-purpose command-line utility available via standard package managers or included in the core GNU/Linux toolset akin to strace or ltrace.

Therefore, a standard synopsis, specific parameters, or general usage history for a command named 'extrace' that operates as a standalone Linux utility cannot be provided. If you intended to inquire about another tracing tool, please verify the command name.

extrace is not a standard Linux command. Attempts to run it on a typical system will likely result in a 'command not found' error. If you are looking for system call tracing, consider strace. For library call tracing, consider ltrace. For advanced performance analysis and kernel-level tracing, explore perf or BPF tools.

It is possible that 'extrace' refers to a specific, non-mainstream tool, a custom script, or a feature within a very niche software ecosystem (e.g., embedded development tools, specific hardware debuggers). Without further context, it is impossible to analyze such a command. Users seeking tracing capabilities on Linux are strongly advised to refer to the widely available and well-documented tools like strace, ltrace, and the comprehensive perf suite, along with kernel tracing frameworks such as ftrace and BPF/bcc tools.

Given that 'extrace' is not a standard, general-purpose Linux command, there is no public development or usage history for a unified utility by this specific name. The concept of 'extended trace' might be implemented in various proprietary or specialized tools, but not as a singular, widely adopted command-line utility in the Linux ecosystem.
