That is, any kind of structured output should go to a dedicated descriptor or multiple descriptors not shared with traced processes. The nature of these descriptors may vary, they could be either created by strace or inherited from the parent process, they just have to be dedicated for structured output. > I can come up with other ideas to extend this one, but I am afraid if > it can make strace a little bit bloated. No, this is a poor excuse, please do not hesitate to come up with ideas. :) -- ldv
