Authors ---------- ltrace has been developed mainly by Juan Cespedes , but he has received many contributions from other people. The following people have contributed significantly to this project: * Pat Beirne (ARM port) * Roman Hodek (m68k port) * Morten Eriksen (misc fixes) * Silvio Cesare (ELF hacking) * Timothy Fesig (S390 port) * Anton Blanchard (Powerpc port) * Jakub Jelinek (SPARC port, support for libelf, many fixes) * Jakub Bogusz (alpha port) * SuSE (amd64 port) * Ian Wienand (IA64 port) 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://ltrace.alioth.debian.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 and 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.
