--- Begin Message ---Package: strace Version: 4.4.91-1 Severity: normal Firstly the -z option is only documented in the changelog.gz not in the man page. Next it doesn't work properly, here's output without -z: brk(0x804d000) = 0x804d000 rmdir("/boot") = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) write(2, "rmdir: ", 7) = 7 write(2, "`/boot\'", 7) = 7 write(2, ": Permission denied", 19) = 19 write(2, "\n", 1) = 1 exit_group(1) = ? Here's with -z: brk(0x804d000) = 0x804d000 rmdir("/boot") = 7 write(2, "`/boot\'", 7) = 7 write(2, ": Permission denied", 19) = 19 write(2, "\n", 1) = 1 exit_group(1) = ? Also an option to display only failing system calls would be really handy too. So many programs just say "couldn't access file" (or some lame message) and exit on errors. I have to strace them and look for which system call fails. Generally there's no good way of grepping for a failed system call so I have to read huge amounts of it. Just displaying a list of failed system calls would really help. -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Kernel Version: Linux lyta 2.4.20-se-r #1 Mon Dec 16 19:48:46 CET 2002 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux Versions of the packages strace depends on: ii libc6 2.3.1-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone
