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.

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

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?
