  The github doesn't really explain what Frida is, so I'm linking to the main project for Frida. [1] This looks like a well developed "tracing" instrumentation project that is cross platform. Applicable for reverse engineers, and debuggers. I could see myself using this for windows apps where I can't install eBPF for instance!

  "So what is Frida, exactly? It’s Greasemonkey for native apps, or, put in more technical terms, it’s a dynamic code instrumentation toolkit. It lets you inject snippets of JavaScript or your own library into native apps on Windows, macOS, GNU/Linux, iOS, Android, and QNX. Frida also provides you with some simple tools built on top of the Frida API. These can be used as-is, tweaked to your needs, or serve as examples of how to use the API."
