That's absolutely correct that there is no such program. If it were there,
you shouldn't be doing this. You are renaming the opendkim binary to
new file called opendkim-real, what don't you understand here?

> cat >opendkim   ? What I'm cat-ing to a file opendkim?

The next lines, until the line that contains Ctrl-D character (end of file
marker). You will be creating a shell script under the name opendkim, that
will be calling opendkim-real (the actual opendkim binary you just renamed)
using strace.

Yes, they are. See above.

This is the end of the script.

You just created new opendkim above.

That's typical "wrapper" approach used when you want to modify behaviour of
a program that is called from within other program.
