ltrace has been developed mainly by Juan Cespedes <cespedes@debian.org>,
but he has received many contributions from other people. The following
people have contributed significantly to this project:
* Pat Beirne <pbeirne@home.com> (ARM port)
* Roman Hodek <Roman.Hodek@informatik.uni-erlangen.de> (m68k port)
* Morten Eriksen <mortene@sim.no> (misc fixes)
* Silvio Cesare <silvio@big.net.au> (ELF hacking)
* Timothy Fesig <slate@us.ibm.com> (S390 port)
* Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> (Powerpc port)
* Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com> (SPARC port, support for libelf, many fixes)
* Jakub Bogusz <qboosh@pld-linux.org> (alpha port)
* SuSE (amd64 port)
* Ian Wienand <ianw@gelato.unsw.edu.au> (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.
This file is very incomplete and out-of-date.
