- Short: Monitors any Amiga function calls
- Type: util/moni
- Uploader: Stefan Scherer, FH Coburg
- Author: Gerson Kurz, FH Muenchen
-
- Snoopy Version 1.4 enables you to monitor library function calls - of any
- library you wish. The idea of course came from SnoopDos by Eddy Carroll,
- but Snoopy is different in approach and purpose. Snoopy has no specific
- patches for specific functions - it is an all-purpose tool to monitor *ANY*
- library call in *ANY* system library.
-
- Snoopy is driven by an input file (called a "script file") which describes
- in detail which functions you want to monitor, and how this monitoring is
- to be done. This input file is a plain ASCII text that contains a simple
- but very readable syntax, and you can edit it with your favourite text
- editor.
-
- Snoopy comes with some default scripts. One emulates SnoopDos behaviour,
- an other watches interesting intuition calls and a third one is used to
- track down some very important exec.library functions. These scripts will
- do the job for the causal users that need some kind of "advanced concepts"
- SnoopDos thing. Programmers however should read the script syntax, Snoopy
- will give you much "debugging power" (oh well ;-).
