oracular (3) function::probe_type.3stap.gz

NAME

       function::probe_type - The low level probe handler type of the current probe.

SYNOPSIS

           probe_type:string()

ARGUMENTS

       None

DESCRIPTION

       Returns a short string describing the low level probe handler type for the current probe point. This is
       for informational purposes only. Depending on the low level probe handler different context functions can
       or cannot provide information about the current event (for example some probe handlers only trigger in
       user space and have no associated kernel context). High-level probes might map to the same or different
       low-level probes (depending on systemtap version and/or kernel used).
