| 1. Introduction |
| --------------- |
| ltrace is a debugging tool, similar to strace, but it traces library |
| calls instead of system calls. |
| |
| 2. Where can I find it |
| ---------------------- |
| At the moment, it's only available as a Debian package. Please let |
| me know if you distribute it any other way. |
| |
| You may find it at: |
| * ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/source/utils/ltrace_* |
| |
| Alternatively, you may find it in any Debian mirror. For more info, |
| see ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/README.mirrors |
| |
| 3. How does it work |
| ------------------- |
| Using i386 software breakpoints, just like gdb. |
| |
| 4. Where does it work |
| --------------------- |
| At the time of writting, it works only with Intel ELF executables. It |
| has been used only in Debian/GNU Linux, but it should work without any |
| problem in any other i386 Linux, such as SuSe or RedHat, and maybe in |
| other i386 based POSIX system, such as Hurd or *BSD. |
| |
| 5. Bugs |
| ------- |
| Too many to list here :). If you like to submit a bug report, or a |
| feature request, either do that against the Debian `ltrace' package, |
| or mail ``Juan Cespedes <cespedes@debian.org>''. |
