If you'd rather spend some of your time than your money on this, you can use the built-in fs_usage terminal command and filter its output (e.g. with grep). Works even with SIP enabled, but will then obviously only return information that SIP doesn't cover.
More info:
man fs_usage
Example showing pathname-only events but otherwise unfiltered:
sudo fs_usage -ew -f pathname

- codetrotter 4y agoI think you might enjoy this poster then: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/ifmoua/ive_finally_found_a_good_scan_of_the_unix_magic/ https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/ifmoua/ive_finally_f... Have a look at the writings on the books, the pots, etc, in that picture and I think you will see what I mean ;) You might have to open the picture on a laptop or desktop computer to get a good look at it. On mobile it might be more difficult to see it proper. It’s my favorite poster that I have ever seen. One of these days I will get myself a nice physical copy of it.

- codetrotter 4y agoEven better!

English speakers tend to abbreviate almost everything ("app", "fridge" ...) we might end at "cantos" then. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canto https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canto ... I'm currently reading Dan Simmons' Hyperion/Endymion again, which might have pushed that into my mind.
