Hi,

Thank you for the feedback. There are a few things that I haven't
really understood.

I didn't understand this example. In case the argument to -l is greater
than the number of syscalls that are invoked, wouldn't strace proceed
as usual? If the tracee does not invoke any syscall, the syscall_limit
counter will not decrease in syscall_exiting_trace().

Regards,
Sahil
