staprun command examples

staprun – systemtap runtime

See the stapex(3stap) manual page for a collection of sample scripts.

Here is a very basic example of how to use staprun. First, use stap to compile a script. The stap program will report the pathname to the resulting module.

$ stap -p4 -e 'probe begin { printf("Hello World!\n"); exit() }'
/home/user/.systemtap/cache/85/stap_8553d83f78c_265.ko

Run staprun with the pathname to the module as an argument.

$ staprun /home/user/.systemtap/cache/85/stap_8553d83f78c_265.ko

Hello World!
