NAME

       stap-prep - prepare system for systemtap use

SYNOPSIS

       stap-prep [ KERNEL_VERSION ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  stap-prep  executable  prepares  the  system  for  systemtap use by installing kernel headers, debug
       symbols and build tools that match the currently running kernel or optionally the kernel version given by
       the user.

       The  exact  behavior of stap-prep may be customized by the distribution maintainers. It might for example
       only give suggestions and not actually install the required packages if that is difficult to automate.

EXAMPLES

              $ stap-prep
              Please install linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64-dbg
