NOTES         top

       strace-log-merge does not work well with strace logs generated by
       strace -tt invocation that pass midnight, as those lack the
       information required for the proper sorting.  Employing the -ttt
       option in the respective strace invocation should solve the
       problem.

BUGS         top

       strace-log-merge does not perform any checks whether the files
       specified are in the correct format and implies that only files
       from a single strace session match STRACE_LOG.*  glob pattern.

HISTORY         top

       The initial version of strace-log-merge was written by Denys
       Vlasenko in 2012.

REPORTING BUGS         top

       Problems with strace-log-merge should be reported to the strace
       mailing list at <strace-devel@lists.strace.io>.
