lurk
lurk is a simple and pretty alternative to strace. It allows the user to
trace system calls of a process or of a command. In contrast to strace,
lurk focuses on a simple, yet pretty, user experience while implementing the
most important use cases of strace.
Demo

Features
- Supports an opinionated subset of strace flags.
