suggestions for improving strace command

For our paper we used the following strace options:

strace -e trace=file,process,dup,dup2,close,pipe,pipe2,fcntl -q -f -s 512

The -e option might be useful to reduce the amount of data that is stored. We actually stored quite a bit of data (512 bytes) per trace call. I don't clearly remember if that was too much or not, but since the paths in the Nix store can be quite long I think that's why ;-)
