Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1244

Petter Reinholdtsen had the idea on the Debian BTS to use the output from the --trace command to generate initial/draft profiles, because it already reports if an application tries to open a file or create a socket.
Maybe an additional tool could parse the trace output and generate a profile out of it.

@netblue30 commented on GitHub (Apr 26, 2017):

Btw, it might be a good idea to add the --trace usage to the EXAMPLES section in the firejail(1) manual page. If it had been there, I might have used it instead of creating this BTS report. :)

I'll add and example in the man page. We'll build an "autoprofiler", at least something to create a starting point for building a profile.

We have the --build command-line argument now, so closing this.
