mtrace(1) command is not documented. All informations come from the script.

Feel free to comment or ask any question.
it doesn't feel right for truly glibc-specific tools to have their man pages 
hosted in the Linux man-pages project, especially when you consider 
functionality/flags/etc... skew across glibc versions trying to be tracked in 
an unrelated git repo.

the GNU standard doesn't say that we can't include them in GNU projects, just 
that they should be secondary to info pages.  so i think things like mtrace(1) 
are better in glibc itself.

how else do people feel in this regard ?
