Structured output?

[Philippe O. <pom...@ne...>]

Hi,
I was wondering if there could be something to make parsing of a
strace output a tad easier.

In fact even though not too complex, parsing a strace output can be
almost as involved as the strace code that encodes the output itself.
It could be a csv output or a json  or yaml ouput or something that
would have some inherent structure that would make it easier to parse,
so that a strace user that wants to interpret the output can focus on
the interpretation of the data rather that having to handle the
interpretation of the strace output first.

In that something that has been already discussed?
Any thoughts?
