TAPSET::STAP_STATICMARKERS(3stap)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, pulling up the cover page real quick: this is tapset::stap_staticmarkers, manual section 3stap — the one and only systemtap stap_staticmarkers tapset. 💅 It's the full roster of static markers that fire off while stap is out here doing stap things, from the very first parse to the final cleanup. no cap.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, every single one of these is a static marker you can hook into, and each one has its own probe page with the deets. here's the whole lineup, in order, nothing skipped, because we do not do "abridged" in this house 🫶

• stap.pass0 — starting up stap pass0, aka it's parsing your command line arguments and figuring out what you even asked for 😌
  • see probe::stap.pass0(3stap) for details.
• stap.pass0.end — pass0 is wrapped, command line arguments have been parsed, moving on bestie
  • see probe::stap.pass0.end(3stap) for details.

  • see probe::stap.pass1a(3stap) for details.

  • see probe::stap.pass1b(3stap) for details.
• stap.pass1.end — finished pass1, scripts have been parsed, that's a wrap 🎀
  • see probe::stap.pass1.end(3stap) for details.
