PROBE::SCHEDULER.P(3stap)

💖 probe::scheduler.process_fork — the manual, but make it cute

okay bestie, so you found yourself a page from the SystemTap Tapset Reference — that's the 3stap manual, section 3, tapset girlies only 💅 — and it's all about one lil probe point. no cap, it's a short one. let's get into it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

probe::scheduler.process_fork — Process forked 🍼

like, literally. a process forked. that's the whole vibe.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

probe scheduler.process_fork {}

that's it. that's the probe. no arguments, no parameters, no little extras hiding in the parentheses. she's got nothing to declare and she's thriving. 🫶

---

🌸 VALUES 🌸

okay so these are the readable values you can grab inside this probe. the local variables. the little facts she hands you. grab them, use them, love them 💖

• child_pid — the PID of the child process 🐣 the fresh new baby process that just got forked into existence
• parent_pid — the PID of the parent process 👑 the one who did the forking, the main character in this origin story
• name — the name of the probe point 🏷️ (spoiler: it's the probe point's name, bestie. she's literally telling you her name.)

---

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

• tapset::scheduler(3stap) — go read the scheduler tapset page, iykyk, it's the whole squad ✨

ngl this probe is giving "short and sweet" energy. but don't sleep on it — every fork in the system passes through here and you're just standing in the doorway collecting PIDs like 🍓
