PROBE::NFS.PROC.(3stap)

💖 probe::nfs.proc.read_setup — from the Network File Storage Tapsets (that's the 3stap manual, bestie) 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

probe::nfs.proc.read_setup — ok so this is the NFS client setting up a read RPC task. Just setting it up, not doing it. We'll get there. 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

probe nfs.proc.read_setup {}

That's it. No args. She takes nothing and gives everything. 👑

---

🎀 VALUES 🎀

These are the lil variables you get to peek at inside the probe. Collect them like stickers. 🦋

• server_ip — the IP address of the server, aka where the good stuff lives 📍
• size — read bytes in this execution 🌸
• count — read bytes in this execution 🌸 (yes bestie, same energy as size, they're both telling you about read bytes in this execution, I don't make the rules)
• offset — the file offset, i.e. where in the file we're looking 👀
• version — the NFS version 💅
• prot — the transfer protocol, the vibe of how the bytes travel 🌈

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So the read_setup function is literally there to setup a read RPC task. That's its whole job. Its entire personality.

And here's the important part, don't skip it: it is not doing the actual read operation. It's giving setup, not results. The main character is getting ready, she is not yet on stage. No cap. 🎭

Fr fr, if you came here expecting the actual read to happen — wrong probe, bestie. This one's just the prep era. 💀
