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 ;-).
