NAME


installwatch — Track installation of software

SYNOPSIS


installwatch [options] [command]

DESCRIPTION


installwatch is a program that is used in order to track the changes made while installing
local software (i.e. "make install"). It monitors the requested command, and produces a
log which indicates all created and modified files. By default it outputs to syslog(3)
using a priority of "LOG_USER | LOG_INFO". This may be overridden by the use of the -o
flag. The log format is as follows:

<return-value> <syscall-name> <argument> #<comment>

Each field is delimited by a "^I" character if logging to syslog(3), or by a tab when
logging to a file.

ENVIRONMENT
