Process behavior monitoring utility and library based on strace

Stramon is primarily distributed as a statically linked binary in releases right now.

Easiest way is to first build a container image using the Dockerfile under containers/statically-linked

$ cd containers/statically-linked
$ podman build . -t stramon

Then run start-container.sh to start and enter the container, navigate to the mounted repo location within the container and use the release static make command

$ ./start-container.sh
# cd /root/stramon # now we are inside the container
# make release-static

The statically linked binary should now be available as statically-linked/stramon

To trace a command:

$ stramon CMD

stramon-latest.json symlink is updated to point to the newest JSON file

$ cat stramon-latest.json | jq "."

$ straamon --help
stramon [-o JSON_OUTPUT] -- prog arg ...
  -o JSON file output path, defaults to: stramon_DATE-TIME.json.
If provided path PATH is a directory, then output path is PATH/stramon_DATE-TIME.json
  -f Force overwrite of output file
  --no-link Disable adding/updating symlink stramon-latest.json
  --version Print version and exit
  --debug Enable debugging output to OUTPUT_PATH.debug
