PROBE::SOCKET.CREA(3stap)

💖 probe::socket.create.return — Return from Creation of a socket 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Socket Tapset corner of the SystemTap Tapset Reference manual, page PROBE::SOCKET.CREA(3stap). this one's short, sweet, and honestly iconic. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

probe socket.create.return {}

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no args, no fuss, just a probe that shows up when it shows up 💅

---

🌸 VALUES 🌸

these are the lil goodies this probe hands you when it fires. every single one, no cap:

• family — the protocol family value 🧚
• success — did the socket creation actually work? (1 = yes bestie, 0 = nope 😭)
• err — the error code, but only if success == 0. if it worked, don't bother looking here.
• protocol — the protocol value 🌈
• requester — who asked for this? user process or kernel (1 = kernel, 0 = user). lowkey useful for figuring out who's the main character here 👑
• name — the name of this probe, as in, the probe's own name, yes really ✨
• type — the socket type value 🎀

---

🦋 CONTEXT 🦋

the context is the requester — so either the user process, or the kernel. whoever's holding the aux cord on this socket creation 🎧

---

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

this probe fires at the conclusion of creating a socket. like, the socket creation has finished, the dust has settled, and now we're all here together in the aftermath. that's the moment. periodt. 🔥
