+(NOTE: the actual 'strace' program will not work because the user
+space emulator hasn't implemented ptrace). At the moment this is
+incomplete. All system calls that don't have a specific argument
+format are printed with information for six arguments. Many
+flag-style arguments don't have decoders and will show up as numbers.
