thanks for having a look!

There is currently no -f parameter, but sure, it could be in the future.
./fanotify01 -h # shows no -f parameter

./fanotify01 -f
...
tst_test.c:688: TBROK: Invalid option

But I meant '-f' as strace parameter, e.g.:

strace -f ./fanotify01

should I wrote this?

	To trace test with strace use call strace with `-f` parameter.

Kind regards,
Petr
