<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>
<command>&dhpackage;</command> is a program that is used in order
to track the changes made while installing local software (i.e.
"make install"). It monitors the requested command, and produces
a log which indicates all created and modified files. By default
it outputs to <application>syslog(3)</application> using a priority
of "LOG_USER | LOG_INFO". This may be overridden by the use of the
<option>-o</option> flag. The log format is as follows:
</para>
<para>
<computeroutput><return-value> <syscall-name> <argument> #<comment></computeroutput>
</para>
<para>
Each field is delimited by a "⁁I" character if logging to
<application>syslog(3)</application>, or by a tab when logging to a file.

&dhpackage; does not work with programs which are statically linked with
libc. Due to LD_PRELOAD limitations, it does not work with suid programs
(this would probably introduce security problems, anyway).
