| Wichert Akkerman | 76baf7c | 1999-02-19 00:21:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 54 | Changes in version 3.1 |
| 55 | ====================== |
| 56 | |
| 57 | * Irix5 is supported |
| 58 | * Linux 68k is supported |
| 59 | * Linux alpha is supported |
| 60 | * configure is upgraded to autoconf 2.x |
| 61 | * using -f in combination with -e now works correctly |
| 62 | * output can be piped to a program |
| 63 | * tracing setuid programs works better |
| 64 | * it is now reasonable to install strace setuid to root in some circumstances |
| 65 | * new useful tracing names like file and process to trace whole |
| 66 | classes of system calls, e.g. -efile traces all system calls that |
| 67 | take a file name as an argument |
| 68 | * IPC calls on SunOS 4.1.x are decoded |
| 69 | * Linux program memory is reliably dereferenced |
| 70 | * Linux decodes at least the name of all syscalls as of pre2.0.4 |
| 71 | * various cosmetic changes and bug fixes |
| 72 | |
| 73 | Changes from versions 2.x to version 3.0 |
| 74 | ======================================== |
| 75 | |
| 76 | * filename arguments are neither abbreviated nor stringified |
| 77 | * string arguments are now true C strings using octal instead of hex by default |
| 78 | * preprocessor constants are never shortened (e.g. was RDONLY => now O_RDONLY) |
| 79 | * by default the output for multiple processes now goes into one file |
| 80 | * all structures, vectors, bitsets, etc. use consistent output formats |
| 81 | * the -c option now means count calls, -i does what the old -c used to do |
| 82 | |
| 83 | New Features in version 3.0 |
| 84 | =========================== |
| 85 | |
| 86 | * non-ascii strings can be optionally printed entirely in hex |
| 87 | * the output format is readable when mutiple processes are generating output |
| 88 | * exit values are printed in an alignment column |
| 89 | * is is possible to suppress messages about attaching and detaching |
| 90 | * various tracing features can be enabled on a per syscall/signal/desc basis |
| 91 | * selective tracing of syscalls |
| 92 | * selective printing of syscall structures |
| 93 | * selective abbreviation of long structures on a per syscall basis |
| 94 | * selective printing of raw syscall arguments and results |
| 95 | * selective tracing of signals |
| 96 | * selective dumping of all I/O read from file descriptors |
| 97 | * selective dumping of all I/O written to file descriptors |
| 98 | * optional counting of time, calls, and errors for each syscall |
