PROBE::NFS.PROC.(3stap)

πŸ’… PROBE::NFS.PROC.LOOKUP β€” okay bestie, let's get into it

So this page lives in the Network File Storage Tapsets manual, and it's a SystemTap tapset probe page. Buckle up, it's short but it's iconic. πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

probe::nfs.proc.lookup β€” no cap, what this does is: the NFS client opens or searches a file on the server. That's the whole vibe. πŸ‘‘


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

probe nfs.proc.lookup {}

That's it. No arguments, no drama, just a probe with an empty body waiting for you to fill it with your little scripts. πŸ’–


πŸŽ€ VALUES πŸŽ€

These are all the things you can peek at inside the probe, and honestly they ate:

  • server_ip β€” the IP address of the server. Like, who are we even talking to here. 🌐
  • version β€” the NFS version. Because version matters, always. πŸ’…
  • bitmask1 β€” a V4 bitmask representing the set of attributes supported on this filesystem. Yes queen, bits.
  • bitmask0 β€” also a V4 bitmask representing the set of attributes supported on this filesystem. And yeah, it's literally the same description as bitmask1 β€” that's not me being lazy, that's just what the page says. Two bitmasks, both doing their thing. 🫢
  • prot β€” the transfer protocol. The way the data gets moved around. ✨
  • filename β€” the name of the file which the client opens/searches on the server. The main character of this whole operation, honestly. 🌟
  • name_len β€” the length of the file name. Gotta know how long the name is, that's just good manners. πŸ“

πŸ¦‹ SEE ALSO πŸ¦‹

  • tapset::nfs_proc(3stap) β€” go read this one too, it's the parent tapset and it's lowkey required reading. πŸ’œ

Just a lil heads up bestie: the two bitmask descriptions on this page are word-for-word identical in the original. I'm not going to invent a difference that isn't there β€” if you need to know which is which, the tapset source is your friend. πŸ™ˆ

That's the whole page, fr fr. Go forth and probe. πŸ’–βœ¨

Signing off with the official tea: this is from the SystemTap Tapset Reference, version noted as Ver, dated September 2026. Sending you all the good probe vibes, bestie. πŸŽ€πŸ‘‘πŸŒˆ
