# execsnoop Trace new processes via exec() syscalls.
#           For Linux, uses BCC, eBPF. Embedded C.
#
# USAGE: execsnoop [-h] [-T] [-t] [-x] [-q] [-n NAME] [-l LINE]
#                  [--max-args MAX_ARGS]
#
# This currently will print up to a maximum of 19 arguments, plus the process
# name, so 20 fields in total (MAXARG).
#
# This won't catch all new processes: an application may fork() but not exec().
