Hi, I’ve got a feature request for strace: optional coloured output, which would use ANSI escape sequences (on supported terminals) to embolden and colourise various bits of the strace output to make it easier to read. Some suggestions for the highlighting: • De-emphasise PIDs at the start of a line by putting them in grey • Emphasise syscall names by emboldening them • Emphasise error return values by colouring them red
If piping through to another program, or running on a terminal which doesn’t support them, the escape sequences should not be used. Thanks, Philip (Please include me in CC in any replies, as I’m not subscribed to the list.)
