161. Introduction
17---------------
18ltrace is a debugging tool, similar to strace, but it traces library
19calls instead of system calls.

212. How does it work
22-------------------
23Using i386 software breakpoints, just like gdb.
24
253. Where does it work
26---------------------
27At the time of writting, it works only with Intel ELF executables. It
28has been used only in Debian/GNU Linux, but it should work without any
29problem in any other i386 Linux, such as SuSe or RedHat, and maybe in
30other i386 based POSIX system, such as Hurd or *BSD.
