hstrace

=======

A tiny wrapper around `strace` giving colored output and more user friendly defaults.

- Color output using source-highlight

- Increase string length to a value matching the terminal width (-s …)

- Decode fd's to filenames (-y)

- Enable timestamps (-t)

- Include subproceses (-f)

- Enable statistics at command end (-C)

- Align return codes (-a …)

Example:

`strace ls`

![strace](strace.png)

`hstrace ls`

![hstrace](hstrace.png)

Dependencies, Usage

-------------------

Make sure you have source-highlight, tput and strace installed.

Call `hstrace.sh` just as you would call strace.

To install it system wide, I recommend something like:

```

# git clone https://github.com/Nudin/hstrace /opt/hstrace

# ln -s /opt/hstrace/hstrace.sh /usr/local/bin/hstrace

```
