For further information about systemtap, several sources are available.
There are man pages:
stap |
systemtap program usage, language summary |
stapfuncs |
functions provided by tapsets |
stapprobes |
probes / probe aliases provided by tapsets |
stapex |
some example scripts |
Then, there is the source code itself. Since systemtap is free
software, you should have available the entire source code. The
source files in the tapset/ directory are also packaged along
with the systemtap binary. Since systemtap reads these files rather
than their documentation, they are the most reliable way to see what's
inside all the tapsets. Use the -v (verbose) command line
option, several times if you like, to show inner workings.
Finally, there is the project web site
(http://sources.redhat.com/systemtap/) with several articles,
an archived public mailing list for users and developers
(systemtap@sources.redhat.com), and a live CVS source
repository. Come join us!
