- 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
- ----------------------
-
- http://www.ltrace.org
-
- 3. How does it work
- -------------------
-
- Using software breakpoints, just like gdb.
-
- 4. Where does it work
- ---------------------
-
- It works with ELF based Linux systems running on i386, m68k, S/390,
- ARM, PowerPC, PowerPC64, IA64, AMD64, SPARC and Alpha processors.
-
- It is part of at least Debian GNU/Linux, RedHat, SuSE, Mandrake...
-
- 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 ltrace-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org.
-
- This file is very incomplete and out-of-date.
