PROBE::KPROCESS.ST(3stap)

✨ PROBE::KPROCESS.ST ✨

okay bestie, gather round 🫶 this one lives in the Kernel Process Tapset (that's section 3stap of the SystemTap manual, iykyk) and it's literally the tiniest little icon you ever met, but it slays.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

probe::kprocess.start — starting new process 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

probe kprocess.start {}

that's it. no arguments, no drama, no little parentheticals. she's empty and she's thriving. ✨

---

🦋 VALUES 🦋

None

nope. nothing. zero. no values, no variables handed to you, nada. it's giving minimalism 🧚 (not a single one, fr fr)

---

💜 CONTEXT 💜

A newly created process. that's the whole vibe check — you're chilling inside a process that literally just got born like two seconds ago 👑

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so here's the tea 🍓 this probe fires immediately before a new process begins execution.

like. immediately before. the process exists, it's all set up, it's about to take its first little steps into the world, and then— boom —your probe runs. main character energy, honestly. 🔥

so if you wanna do something at the exact moment a fresh process is about to start running, this is your girl. no cap.

bye bestie, go probe something 🦋✨
