FUNCTION::PPFUNC(3stap)

💖 FUNCTION::PPFUNC 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the ppfunc page — it lives in the Context Functions chapter of the SystemTap Tapset Reference (section 3stap), and honestly? it's giving short-and-sweet. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

function::ppfunc — literally just: it hands you the function name that got parsed out of the pp. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ppfunc:string()

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

None. zero. nada. nothing to pass in, bestie — it just knows. 💅

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea 🍓: this one returns the function name from the current pp. that's it, that's the function.

but — and this is the important part, no cap — not all pp have functions in them. like, some of them are just out here living their lives with no function at all 😭. in that case, you get "" back. empty string. a whole lot of nothing. don't be surprised, it's documented behavior. 🙈

vibe check: if you're expecting a name and get "", that's not a bug, that's just a pp with no function in it. periodt. 💜
