This is for strace 4.5.8. The man page says:

"-e trace=file
Trace all system calls which take a
file name as an argument."

But it also displays pread and pwrite system calls,
which do NOT take a file name as an argument. Isn't
this a bug? I would prefer for -e trace=file to do what
it says in the man page.

    This is apparently more wide issue than just pread/pwrite.
    I've submitted a patch, see
