PROBE::SOCKET.AIO_(3stap)

💖 NAME 💖

probe::socket.aio_read — the little probe that catches a message sliding in via sock_aio_read, bestie 🫶

So this is from the Socket Tapset section of the manual, section 3stap, and it's literally just the one probe, no cap.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

probe socket.aio_read {}

That's it. That's the whole vibe. A probe with an empty body, waiting for you to fill it with your hopes and dreams 💅

---

🌸 VALUES 🌸

Every one of these is available to you inside the probe body, so go off:

• name — the name of this probe, i.e. its whole identity, its main character moment 👑
• type — the socket type value
• state — the socket state value
• protocol — the protocol value
• family — the protocol family value
• flags — the socket flags value
• size — the message size, measured in bytes (numbers, we love her 📏)

---

🦋 CONTEXT 🦋

The message sender. That's who we're in the presence of, that's the company we're keeping 🙈

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

This probe fires at the very beginning of receiving a message on a socket, specifically when it happens via the sock_aio_read function. Like, the moment the message starts arriving — not after, not during the aftermath, the beginning. It's giving front row seats to the whole thing ⭐
