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, ...).
Best regards,
Celelibi
