We have settled on using sockets for the communication I think, so would
you suggest doing what I saw done in one of the war stories then:
"stap -x <pid> some-stap-script.stp | <some-socket-to-ids-program>
-socketname"
?

As there seem to be no other way to get info out of a stap script than
parsing stdout, this seems to be the way forward or what?

From what I can tell, it seems that sockets can be made non-blocking, so
would using them directly from a stap-script be possible?

Thanks in advance
