 By default, when the source image is a multi-platform image, `ctr-remote` converts the image corresponding to the platform where `ctr-remote` runs.
 
 Note that though the images specified by `--all-platform` and `--platform` are converted to eStargz, images that don't correspond to the current platform aren't *optimized*. That is, these images are lazily pulled but without prefetch.

+### Dump log of accessed files during optimization (`--record-out`)
+
+You can dump the information of which files are accesssed during optimization, using `--record-out` flag.
+
+For example, the following dumps logs of files accessed during running `ls` in `ubuntu:24.04`.
+
+```
+ctr-remote image pull docker.io/library/ubuntu:24.04
+ctr-remote image optimize --record-out=/tmp/log.json \
+  --entrypoint='[ "/bin/bash", "-c" ]' --args='[ "ls" ]' \
+  docker.io/library/ubuntu:24.04 registry2:5000/ubuntu:24.04

+The following is the contents of the log (`/tmp/log.json`):
