FUNCTION::REVERSE_PATH_WALK(3stap)

✨ NAME ✨

function::reverse_path_walk β€” bestie, this one gets you the full dirent path πŸ’–

It lives in the Directory-entry (dentry) Tapset of the SystemTap Tapset Reference, and no cap it's giving "walk backwards up the tree and tell me where we are" energy πŸ¦‹


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

reverse_path_walk:string(dentry:long)

One argument, one string back, we love a low-drama signature πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • dentry β€” a long that is a pointer to a dentry πŸ‘‘ that's it, that's the whole vibe, just hand her the pointer and she'll do the rest 🫢

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

She returns the path name for ya ✨ β€” and lowkey important detail here: it's the partial path to the mount point, not the whole entire absolute-everything path, okay? So manage your expectations bestie, it's giving "path up to where the mount begins" πŸ’€

partial path to mount point, periodt 🌈
