libpretrace is a preload library that allows specified (dynamically linked)
applications to always be executed under a debugging environment. To start
using pretrace, add libpretrace.so to your /etc/ld.so.preload.

	root# echo /lib/libpretrace.so >> /etc/ld.so.preload

You can now specify applications to trace in /etc/pretrace.conf, the format
is one application per line, if you would like to specify a debugger append
a colon, then the full path to the debugger and any arguments you would like
to pass. If you do not specify a debugger, you get the default, strace, which
saves the output to .logfile in the current working directory.

# this is a comment
/full/path/to/application[:/full/path/to/debugger [arg1 arg2 ...]]

An example pretrace.conf is provided with this distribution.

libpretrace is designed as a debugging utility for developers and auditors,
and should not be used in a production environment.

libpretrace is released under GPL version 2, and was created by Rob Holland
and Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team.
