TAPSET::TCP(3stap)

✨ TAPSET::TCP (3stap) ✨

okay bestie, so this is the tapset::tcp page from the SystemTap tapset manual (that's the 3stap section, iykyk) 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

tapset::tcp — the systemtap tcp tapset. that's it, that's the name, she's simple and she's iconic 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this whole lil family of probe points? it's your girl for probing stuff that goes down in the TCP layer. like, literally every event in the TCP layer that you'd wanna spy on, this family has a probe for it. obsessed 💜

here's the full roster, no gatekeeping:

• tcp.sendmsg — sending a tcp message. that's the vibe. for the deets, go see probe::tcp.sendmsg(3stap) 👑
• tcp.sendmsg.return — sending that TCP message is done, she finished, periodt. details live in probe::tcp.sendmsg.return(3stap) ✨
• tcp.recvmsg — receiving a TCP message. incoming, bestie 📥. check probe::tcp.recvmsg(3stap) for the full tea 🍓
• tcp.recvmsg.return — receiving that TCP message is complete, we ate. probe::tcp.recvmsg.return(3stap) has everything 🎀
• tcp.disconnect — TCP socket disconnection. it's giving goodbye 😭. probe::tcp.disconnect(3stap) for the details 🦋
• tcp.disconnect.return — TCP socket disconnection is complete, fully wrapped up. see probe::tcp.disconnect.return(3stap) 💫
• tcp.setsockopt — a call to setsockopt(). yes, that one. details in probe::tcp.setsockopt(3stap) 🌸
• tcp.setsockopt.return — the return from setsockopt(), she's back. probe::tcp.setsockopt.return(3stap) has the rest 💜
• tcp.receive — called when a TCP packet is received. packet arrived, main character energy 📦✨. go read probe::tcp.receive(3stap) 🌈

ngl every single one of these is just a lil pointer to its own probe page — this page is basically the group chat and those are the individual DMs 💌
