I would like to know how a developer can view .dat files or data stored in
non-text files.

Let's say a developer store struct's on a binary file called foo.dat.
Another developer want to find out what is the structure and dont have the
source code, how can he analize the foo.dat file? What tools do you guys
know that work on solaris sparc by the way???

Another question a bit related to this. On unix like systems, what tools
beside gdb and truss (strace) do a developer have to know what is a
program doing?

How can I monitor what libc or syscall is certain binary doing?

Thanks for the very "misc" questions,

Kind regards,


f.v.
