PROBE::TTY.READ(3stap)

✨ PROBE::TTY.READ ✨ (that's section 3stap ofc 💅)

okay bestie, welcome to the probe::tty.read page, this one is SHORT and sweet and honestly it's giving "blink and you'll miss it" energy 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

probe::tty.read — it fires when a tty line will be read, no cap 🎀

---

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

probe tty.read {}

that's it. that's the whole thing. iconic minimalism ✨

💖 VALUES 💖

like, everything you get handed inside this probe. the good stuff. the tea 🍓

• buffer — the buffer that will receive the characters 💌 like it's literally the lil basket catching the letters
• nr — The amount of characters to be read 🔢 how many, bestie, that's the number
• file_name — the file name lreated to the tty 😭 (yes, the original says "lreated", we're keeping it fr fr, that's canon) — anyway it's the file name tied to the tty

🫧 lowkey reminder: this probe is only about the moment a tty line will be read. don't come for me about what happens after, that's not on this page 💀

anyway that's the whole page, you ate it, periodt 💅🌸

this one comes from the SystemTap Tapset Reference, version vibes dated September 2026 🎀 so yeah, that's the era we're in. byeee, go read some ttys 🦋💜
