FUNCTION::FULLPATH_STRUCT_FILE(3stap)

✨ NAME ✨

function::fullpath_struct_file β€” get the full path πŸ’–

okay so this is one of those SystemTap Tapset Reference pages, section 3stap, and the lil page title vibe is Directory-entry (dentry) πŸ¦‹ so yeah, we're in dentry territory, bestie, buckle up.


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

fullpath_struct_file:string(task:long,file:long)

like. that's the whole signature. two longs in, a string out. slay ✨


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • task β€” this is a task_struct pointer, aka the thing that says which process we're talking about πŸ‘‘
  • file β€” and this one is a pointer to "struct file" πŸ“

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

Returns the full dirent name β€” like, the full path all the way up to the root β€” exactly the way the kernel d_path function does it. no cap 🫢

so you hand it a task and a file struct, and it hands you back the whole entire path string, from wherever that file is living all the way up to /. iconic behavior fr fr 🌈

ngl the whole point is that it mirrors d_path, so if you already know how that one feels, you already know how this one feels πŸ’œ
