+
+Midipix presently provides, inter alia, strace-like functionality via
+ntctty's logging capabilities. This is enabled for a session by running
+``ntctty.exe`` with the ``--log-level 7`` option, e.g.:
+
+```shell
+$ ntctty.exe --log-level 7 /bin/ls -la /
+$ ntctty.exe --log-level 7 /bin/sh -c "ls -la /"
+```
+
+By default, log files are written into the /var/log/ntctty directory;
+this may be adjusted with the ``--log-dir`` and/or ``--log-file`` options.
