STRACE-LOG-MERGE(1) General Commands Manual STRACE-LOG-MERGE(1)
strace-log-merge - merge strace -ff -tt output
strace-log-merge STRACE_LOG
strace-log-merge --help
strace-log-merge merges log files produced by the strace -ff
-tt[t] command. It prepends the Process ID (PID) to each line and
sorts the combined output chronologically by timestamp.
--help Show program usage and exit.
STRACE_LOG
Specifies the file name prefix for the log files produced
by a strace -ff -tt[t] command. The utility will read all
files matching the STRACE_LOG.* pattern.
0 Success
Non-zero
An error occurred. This can be due to a missing argument
(in which case usage information is printed) or a failure
during the processing of the STRACE_LOG.* files.

strace-log-merge may fail to correctly sort logs that were
generated with -tt and span across midnight. This is because the
standard -tt timestamp lacks date information, which is required
for proper sorting. Using the -ttt option with strace solves this
problem, as its timestamp format includes the date.
strace-log-merge does not validate the format of the input files.
It assumes that all files matching the STRACE_LOG.* glob pattern
are correctly formatted log files from a single strace session.
The initial version of strace-log-merge was written by Denys
Vlasenko in 2012.
Problems with strace-log-merge should be reported to the strace
mailing list at <[email protected]>.
