301. Introduction
31---------------
32ltrace is a debugging tool, similar to strace, but it traces library
33calls instead of system calls.
34
352. Where can I find it
36----------------------
37At the moment, it's only available as a Debian package.  Please let
38me know if you distribute it any other way.
39
40You may find it at:
41 * ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/ltrace/
42
43Alternatively, you may find it in any Debian mirror.  For more info,
44see ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/README.mirrors
45
463. How does it work
47-------------------
48Using software breakpoints, just like gdb.
49
504. Where does it work
51---------------------
52At the time of writting, it works only with ELF32 executables. It only
53works in Linux, and it only works on i386, m68k, and ARM processors.
54
555. Bugs
56-------

58feature request, either do that against the Debian `ltrace' package,
