[Ltrace-devel] Interpreting ltrace output

Hi -

That is the default ltrace output when ltrace doesn't know anything about
the function. You can get prettier output by creating an ltrace.conf file
and adding entries to it.

ltrace comes with a default conf file, usually found in /etc/ltrace.conf --
check that file for more information.

Once you create a file with entries for the functions you care about you can
run ltrace like this:

ltrace -F /path/to/your/conf  <other options> ....
