Dear strace-Deveopment-Team!
Thanks for such a great tool like strace. Without I couldn't live. ;)
But I just found a small kind of bug:
If you call strace with invalid command line parameter strace will
also overwrite the file given by the -o option. For example I just
called:
strace -o /opt/lampp/bin/httpd
to trace the Apache webserver. But I missed the output file (or the
binary - just as you like). So strace showed me the Usage output and
made me aware of my mistake. After that /opt/lampp/bin/httpd was empty.
I think this behaviour is not okay. It's not really bad. But.. you
know... ;)
Greetings
Oswald
