   Hi, Paul Quinn!   
   I read your message from  13.12.2013 20:10   
   about slang.   
      
     MD>> I've encountered such a phrase: "Betchya woulda forgot that   
     MD>> one".   
     PQ> Spoken by an Englishman or Australian?   
      
   Maybe it will be usefull to look at the original document:   
   http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/strace.1.html

   STRACE(1)                  General Commands Manual                 STRACE(1)   
   NAME         top   
           strace - trace system calls and signals   
   SYNOPSIS   
   ...   
   DESCRIPTION   
   ...   
   OPTIONS   
   ...   
      
           -e trace=set   
                       Trace only the specified set of system calls.  The   
                       -c option is useful for determining which system   
                       calls might be useful to trace.  For example,   
                       trace=open,close,read,write means to only trace   
                       those four system calls.  Be careful when making   
                       inferences about the user/kernel boundary if only   
                       a subset of system calls are being monitored.  The   
                       default is trace=all.   
      
           -e trace=file   
                       Trace all system calls which take a file name as   
                       an argument.  You can think of this as an   
                       abbreviation for   
                       -e trace=open,stat,chmod,unlink,...  which is   
                       useful to seeing what files the process is   
                       referencing.  Furthermore, using the abbreviation   
                       will ensure that you don't accidentally forget to   
                       include a call like lstat in the list.  Betchya   
                       woulda forgot that one.   
   --------------------------   
      
   As my ear hears it:   
   ... using the abbreviation will ensure that you don't accidentally    
   forget to include a call like lstat in the list.  Betchya woulda forgot    
   that one.   
      
   I bet you would   
   Bye, Paul!
