# Trace specific system calls
$ backlight -s sys_openat -s sys_close /bin/ls
# Trace specific shared library function calls
$ backlight -l malloc -l free /bin/ls
# Add args after `--` and backlight will pass them along to the tracee
$ backlight /bin/ls -- -a
# Trace specific system calls and all shared library function calls
$ backlight -s sys_openat --all-library-functions /bin/ls
# Trace specific shared library function calls and all system calls
$ backlight -l malloc --all-syscalls /bin/lsI'm looking for feedback on the UX of backlight. Stop by #3 and share your opinions!
