+1. Introduction
+---------------
+
+ltrace is a debugging tool, similar to strace, but it traces library
+calls instead of system calls.
+
+2. Where can I find it
+----------------------
+
+http://www.ltrace.org
+
+3. How does it work
+-------------------
+
+Using software breakpoints, just like gdb.
+
+4. Where does it work
+---------------------
+
+It works with ELF based Linux systems running on i386, m68k, S/390,
+ARM, PowerPC, PowerPC64, IA64, AMD64, SPARC and Alpha processors.
+
+It is part of at least Debian GNU/Linux, RedHat, SuSE, Mandrake...
+
+5. Bugs
+-------
+
+Too many to list here :).  If you like to submit a bug report, or a
+feature request, either do that against the Debian `ltrace' package,
+or mail ltrace-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org.
+
+This file is very incomplete and out-of-date.
