execsnoop.c -l option matches comm rather than arguments

Author: chewiCreated Mar 5, 2026Updated Mar 5, 2026

The --help text for execsnoop.c says:

  -l, --line=LINE            only print commands where arg contains this line

But in practise, it actually compares this against comm like the --name option does. execsnoop.py works as expected here, so I'm guessing this wasn't intentional.
