fyi: `bash: syntax error near unexpected token \`&'` – andras.tim Apr 12 '19 at 09:08

The "-s" option under Linux, from the "strace" package, will let you specify the width:
-s strsize Specify the maximum string size to print (the
default is 32). Note that filenames are not consid-
ered strings and are always printed in full.

2And with colors: `strace $CMD 2>&1 > /dev/null | vim -c ':set syntax=strace' -`. – Pablo A Aug 27 '17 at 14:43

Use '-o filename' option:
strace -f -o foo.log foo
man strace
-o filename Write the trace output to the file filename

1True, not directly an answer, but I found it useful in this context nonetheless. It does write the full strings into the file. – user63623 Jan 12 '17 at 15:49

3Not really, @user63623. I've tried it here and ended up having to use -s anyway (strace 4.26). – hdiogenes Jun 03 '19 at 22:13

As other answers point to good directions in general, the specific issue is probably the space you have between "|" and "&". If you're trying to use a bash "|&" to pipe both stdout and stderr you can't have a space between those characters.
