PROBE::STAP.SYSTEM(3stap)

💖 PROBE::STAP.SYSTEM 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SystemTap Translator Tapset corner of the docs ✨ this is the PROBE::STAP.SYSTEM page (3stap section, iykyk) and it's literally a tiny little page about one very specific moment in stap's life 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

probe::stap.system.spawn — stap spawned new process 👶✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

probe stap.system.spawn {}

that's it. that's the whole probe. no args, no drama, just vibes 💅

---

🦋 VALUES 🦋

• pid — the pid of the spawned process 🐣 like, the little number that says "hey, this brand new process? that's me."
• ret — the return value from posix_spawn 📬 so you can peek at what the spawn call handed back.

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

This probe fires just after the call to posix_spawn. not before, not during — just after ✨ so if you're sitting here waiting to catch the exact moment a new process gets spawned by stap, congrats, this is your main character moment 👑
