Newbie looking for bugs or patches needed

[haris iqbal]

Hello,

I can work on extending -e trace=class. I will take sometime to understand
the code. If there is some documentation that will help me understand the
flow and the functionality of the functions then it will be good.

Regarding the portable strace. I actually wrote it as a module for a
project which detects malicious behaviour of a process by reading the
parameters of the syscalls made by that process. Its pretty simple and was
done as a POC. The code itself is small and not very well written as I had
only a week to complete the project. you can find it here -->
