57 option is used, or a file name is supplied as the last argument.
59 The options are as follows:
62 Display all numbers in decimal.
64 If an emulation of a process is unknown,
65 interpret system call maps assuming the named emulation instead of

79 Suppress system call number-to-name translation.
81 Suppress ad hoc translations.
84 tries to decode many system calls into a more human readable format.
87 values are replaced with the macro name and
89 values are replaced with the
92 Suppressing this feature yields a more consistent output format and is
93 easily amenable to further processing.
95 Only display records from the trace file that are for the indicated pid.
97 Display relative timestamps (time since previous entry).
99 Display absolute timestamps for each entry (seconds since epoch).
101 Restrict display to the specified set of kernel trace points.
102 The default is to display everything in the file.
108 Display GIO data in hex and ascii instead of
114 but display hex values by groups of
