TAPSET::TTY(3stap)

💅 TAPSET::TTY — ok bestie, let's talk tty probes 💅

So you've stumbled into the tty tapset from SystemTap (that's the manual page tapset::tty), and honestly? It's giving terminal-whisperer. Every probe in here is a little spy cam pointed at your tty layer, and each one has its own deep-dive page if you wanna go full main character and read the details. 🎀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so here's the whole squad. Each probe is a lil event listener, and each one points you at its own probe:: page for the juicy details. No gatekeeping. 💖

• tty.open — fires when a tty gets opened 🫶

See probe::tty.open(3stap) for details.

• tty.release — fires when the tty is closed 😭

See probe::tty.release(3stap) for details.

• tty.resize — fires when a terminal resize happens (yes, when they drag that corner, we KNOW) 🦋

See probe::tty.resize(3stap) for details.

• tty.ioctl — fires when an ioctl request hits the tty 👑

See probe::tty.ioctl(3stap) for details.

• tty.init — fires when a tty is being initalized ✨

See probe::tty.init(3stap) for details.

• tty.register — fires when a tty device is registred 🌸

See probe::tty.register(3stap) for details.

• tty.unregister — fires when a tty device is being unregistered 💀

See probe::tty.unregister(3stap) for details.

• tty.poll — fires when a tty device is being polled ⭐

See probe::tty.poll(3stap) for details.

• tty.receive — fires when a tty receives a message 🍓

See probe::tty.receive(3stap) for details.

• tty.write — writes to the tty line 💅

See probe::tty.write(3stap) for details.

• tty.read — fires when a tty line will be read 🙈

See probe::tty.read(3stap) for details.

Friendly lil heads-up, bestie: the one-liners above are exactly what the tapset says — I'm not gonna invent extra lore for you. If you want the why and the how, the probe:: pages are where the tea lives. 🫖
