Description Mark Wielaard 2012-08-01 09:40:03 UTC 
stapprobes and stapfuncs man pages were removed in systemtap 1.8 but are still referqnced from other man pages, the tutorial, tapset reference guide and beginners guide. There is still a stapprobes.3stap file in the repository but we don't install it in the package.

These old man pages should really be installed, if only to point out where the new information/overviews of probes and functions are. Old users (like me) don't know :)

Sorry, stapprobes seems to still be there, but stapfuncs is definitely gone.
Comment 2 Mark Wielaard 2012-08-01 13:11:21 UTC 
BTW. The real thing I was looking for was the manual page for printf, which happens to be described in the main stap.1 man page.
