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.
