Show HN: A simple, pretty alternative to strace written in Rust

Heavy professional strace user here.<p>afaics the wall clock time of the call is not implemented. This is effectively useless to me without that.<p>The second -ff is critical for following busy multiprocess stuff like a JVM.<p>If you aren&#x27;t resolving every known struct then -x and -xx can be useful.<p>The FD resolution provided by -yy is not critical but can be a real time saver.<p>The flags I use most often are -ffttTyy -o -s

Hi! Like strace, lurk allows a user to trace system calls. It implements an opinionated subset of strace. Compared to strace, lurk is optimized for readability and supports structured output in JSON format.<p>I’d be happy to receive some feedback : )

It&#x27;s been interesting watching you build this on Twitter.<p>What prompted you to invest your time in this project vs the others that you were probably considering?

Cool project, I really like the new structured output - that will make parsing stuff much easier than with strace! Is the performance overhead of tracing the syscalls comparable to strace?

Supporting ltrace type tracing would be awesome
