20----------
21ltrace has been developed mainly by Juan Cespedes <cespedes@debian.org>,
22but he has received many contributions from other people.  The following
23people have contributed significantly to this project:
24
25* Pat Beirne <pbeirne@home.com> (ARM port)
26* Roman Hodek <Roman.Hodek@informatik.uni-erlangen.de> (m68k port)
27* Morten Eriksen <mortene@sim.no> (misc fixes)

291. Introduction
30---------------
31ltrace is a debugging tool, similar to strace, but it traces library
32calls instead of system calls.
33
342. Where can I find it
35----------------------
36At the moment, it's only available as a Debian package.  Please let
37me know if you distribute it any other way.
38
39You may find it at:
40 * ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/source/utils/ltrace_*
41
42Alternatively, you may find it in any Debian mirror.  For more info,
43see ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/README.mirrors
44
453. How does it work
46-------------------
47Using software breakpoints, just like gdb.
48
494. Where does it work
50---------------------
51At the time of writting, it works only with ELF32 executables. It only
52works in Linux, and it only works on i386, m68k, and ARM processors.
53
545. Bugs
55-------
56Too many to list here :).  If you like to submit a bug report, or a
57feature request, either do that against the Debian `ltrace' package,
58or mail ``Juan Cespedes <cespedes@debian.org>''.
