        ==============
        
        fd-leak-finder helps you figure out why your unix process is using up too many fds.
        
        To use it, generate strace output with a command something like this::
        
           strace -q -a1 -s0 -ff -e trace=desc -tttT -ostrace.file $EXECUTABLE
        
        Then pipe the resulting "strace.file.$PID" into fd-leak-finder's stdin.
        
        CAVEATS
        =======
        
        It turns out that strace's representation of this stuff is much more
        complicated than I thought, and I don't understand why some of
        fd-leak-finder's computations turn out the way they do. You can see "xxx
        weird" sorts of messages in fd-leak-finder. Hopefully it will be useful to
        you anyway! If you figure out how to improve it please let me know.
        
        I guess parsing strace's human-oriented output is a bad way to do this. I'm
        not sure what a *good* way to do it is, on Linux. On Solaris or OSX I suppose
        a good way to do it would be to use dtrace.
