> Strace for Everyone

For a moment there I was excited to see strace on the Mac. Not for everyone, it seems.

So it just prints "get the target path of link foo" instead of "readlink(foo)" and so on?

When I read the description I hoped it would match broad strokes like "load library foo.so" but the screenshot shows that it just rewords each syscall name into English.

Huh, I did not realize I was settling for something so incomprehensible compared to this. Really nice to see. Maybe there are other nice tools like this?
