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)

281. Introduction
29---------------
30ltrace is a debugging tool, similar to strace, but it traces library
31calls instead of system calls.
32
332. Where can I find it
34----------------------
35At the moment, it's only available as a Debian package.  Please let
36me know if you distribute it any other way.
37
38You may find it at:
39 * ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/source/utils/ltrace_*
40
41Alternatively, you may find it in any Debian mirror.  For more info,
42see ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/README.mirrors
43
443. How does it work
45-------------------
46Using software breakpoints, just like gdb.
47
484. Where does it work
49---------------------
50At the time of writting, it works only with ELF32 executables. It only
51works in Linux, and it only works on i386, m68k, and ARM processors.
52
535. Bugs
54-------
55Too many to list here :).  If you like to submit a bug report, or a
56feature request, either do that against the Debian `ltrace' package,
57or mail ``Juan Cespedes <cespedes@debian.org>''.
