I often find strace gives more info than I can comprehend. Very often the
problems I am looking at solving are to do with libraries (missing,
outdated, updated etc) and therefore strace -e open is useful. This
restricts the output to files that are being opended by the target
program, and that usually gives a pretty good idea if a library is
missing, misplaced etc.
