Output as tab-separated values

[esyr]

From https://sourceforge.net/p/strace/feature-requests/4/
Author: John D. Ramsdell (@ramsdell, presumably)

The strace program generates a line of text describing each system call made by processes it is tracing. The output is designed to be human readable, but it is not easily parsed by simple scripts.
To ease the task of analyzing strace output, the strace2tsv program, which is enclosed, formats the elements that make up a system call into tab separated values. In the output, the system call name, each argument, and the system call result make up a value in a line of output. An strace line of output that describes a signal is copied to the output unchanged.
See the strace2tsv manual page for more details.

Thank you for reviving this request. I hope people find this package useful.

Can we just build --json or --csv into the strace binary?

I have seen no evidence my package was merged into the strike mainline. You could hack the program I provided.

This would be extremely helpful in a lot of situation!

Ideally, output in RDF, in N-Triples format which is line-based, with one line per event.
