💥 probe::signal.force_segv 💥

okay bestie, welcome to the Signal Tapset corner of the SystemTap reference 💅 this one's a probe point page from the <hotpink>PROBE::SIGNAL.FORC(3stap)</hotpink> manual, and yes the name is literally force_segv, it's giving drama and we love that for it.

✨ NAME ✨

probe::signal.force_segv — forcing the send of SIGSEGV 🫶

like, somebody's about to get a segmentation fault and it was not an accident. no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

probe signal.force_segv {}

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. she's minimal, she's mysterious, she ate 💅

🌸 VALUES 🌸

every probe point in this tapset comes with a little gift bag of variables, and here's what's inside yours 🎁

• sig — the number of the signal 🔢
• name — the name of the probe point 🏷️
• sig_name — a string representation of the signal, so like the cute readable version instead of just a number ✨
• pid_name — the name of the process that's receiving the signal 👀
• sig_pid — the PID of the process receiving the signal 🆔

not me listing all five like they're my five personality traits 😭 but fr fr, if you're writing a script and you need to know who got the signal and what the signal was, this is your moment.
