PROBE::TTY.RECEIVE(3stap)

💅 probe::tty.receive — TTY Tapset, bestie edition 🎀

okay so literally this is a SystemTap tapset probe page (3stap, section three, tapset vibes), and it's giving very niche but very iconic. stay with me.

---

✨ NAME ✨

probe::tty.receive — the probe that fires when a tty receives a message 🫶

like. a terminal just got handed some characters. and this probe is THERE for it. main character energy fr fr.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

probe tty.receive {}

that's it. no args, no fuss, no drama. she simply runs. 💅

---

🦋 VALUES 🦋

these are the local variables you get to peek at inside the probe. every single one, no cap:

• count — the amount of characters received. yes bestie, a count. how many. the number. 🔢
• index — the tty Index. capital I and all, that's just how she's written. 👑
• id — the tty id. lowercase, chill, unbothered. ✨
• driver_name — the driver name. the name of the driver. iconic of her tbh. 🚗
• cp — the buffer that was received. the actual goods. the whole point. 🔥
• name — the name of the module file. not the tty, the module file. don't mix them up bestie, i know it's tempting. 🙈
• fp — The flag buffer. capital T, capital F, capital B in spirit. 🏳️

lowkey important: those are the exact names, spelled exactly like that. driver_name has an underscore, index is capitalized, and fp is the flag buffer, not a file pointer. iykyk. 💀
