It shows how to call strace-analyzer, but does not show or explain what do I get from it.


By the way, does it work well for non-file things, like NETLINK sockets or tricky ioctls? README should also clarify what the tool can and what cannot do.

Yes, you're right. I will address address this.

I've updated the README, feel free to take a peek at it in the wip/next branch. I'm going to cut a new release soon anyway, that's why I'm still keeping it in that branch.

Now it is more clear - it aggregates reads and writes by filepaths.

Should it be made more clear that mmap-based file access would not be counted? I think at least it should mark files ever mmapped with some asterisk.

At the moment, strace-analyzer only analyzes reads and writes to the file system

Are there plans to implement more things? For example, networking sockets conversations may be aggregated in a similar way (including counters for usage of advanced features like AF_UNIX's SCM_RIGHTS).

mmap is an open issue, see #7.

I myself don't intend to implement anything else at the moment. Feel free to contribute, though!

Closing since the README is updated with the latest release.
