Package: strace Version: 4.5.20-2.3 Severity: wishlist Dear maintainer,
I think it could be useful to add an option that would prevent strace from interpreting constants, and thus showing numerical values. There are at least two reasons for that. - strace may decode constants wrong (especially ioctl's name for which strace only consider the 16 least significant bits on linux). - The user may be interested by the numerical value. This could be either a global option which disable every constant interpretation, or an option that can disable selectively which kind of constants arn't to be interpreted (ioctls, file access, errno, ...).
