       $ strace -o sleepy -ff -tt -e trace=execve,nanosleep

NOTES
       strace-log-merge  does  not work well with strace logs generated by strace -tt invocation that pass midnight, as those lack the information
       required for the proper sorting.  Employing the -ttt option in the respective strace invocation should solve the problem.

BUGS
       strace-log-merge does not perform any checks whether the files specified are in the correct format and implies that only files from a  sin-
       gle strace session match STRACE_LOG.*  glob pattern.

HISTORY
       The initial version of strace-log-merge was written by Denys Vlasenko in 2012.

REPORTING BUGS
       Problems with strace-log-merge should be reported to the strace mailing list at <strace-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>.
