STAP(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual STAP(7)
NAME
stappaths - systemtap miscellaneous and paths
DESCRIPTION
This manual page was generated on 2013-05-14 for systemtap 1.7. The following section will list the main paths in systemtap that are
important to know and may be required to reference.
Tapset Path: /usr/share/systemtap/tapset/
Systemtap data directory for cached systemtap files, unless overridden by the SYSTEMTAP_TAPSET environment variable or the
XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable. This directory stores a set of builtin functions and probe point aliases are provided by the
scripts installed here. These are described in the stapfuncs(3stap) and stapprobes(3stap) manual pages.
Runtime Path: /usr/share/systemtap/runtime/
The runtime sources, unless overridden by the SYSTEMTAP_RUNTIME environment variable.
Staprun Path: /usr/bin/staprun
The auxiliary program supervising module loading, interaction, and unloading.
Stapio Path: /usr/lib/systemtap/stapio
The Systemtap module input and output handler.
sdt.h Path: /usr/include/sys/sdt.h
Kernel debuginfo Path: /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/
The location of kernel debugging information when packaged into the kernel-debuginfo RPM, unless overridden by the SYSTEMTAP_DEBUG-
INFO_PATH environment variable. The default value for this variable is +:.debug:/usr/lib/debug:build and can be changed using $env
SYSTEMTAP_DEBUGINFO_PATH=/path/to/vmlinux . Elfutils searches vmlinux in this path and it interprets the path as a base directory
of which various subdirectories will be searched for finding modules. By default, systemtap will also look for vmlinux in these
locations:
/boot/vmlinux-`uname -r`
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/vmlinux
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/vmlinux.debug
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/vmlinux
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/.debug/vmlinux.debug
/usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/`uname -r`/vmlinux.debug
/var/cache/abrt-di/usr/debug/lib/modules/`uname -r`/
/var/cache/abrt-di/usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/`uname -r`/vmlinux.debug
Debuginfo for user-space applications have source files located in /usr/src/debug/ Further file information on user-space applica-
tions can be determined per-basis using rpm -ql <package>-debuginfo. For supported user-space applications information please visit
the systemtap wiki.
$HOME/.systemtap
Systemtap data directory for cached systemtap files, unless overridden by the SYSTEMTAP_DIR environment variable.
/tmp/stapXXXXXX
Temporary directory for systemtap files, including translated C code and kernel object.
/lib/modules/VERSION/build
The location of kernel module building infrastructure.
/usr/share/doc/systemtap*/examples
Examples with greater detail, can be found here. Each example comes with a .txt or .meta file explaining what the example, sample or
demo does and how it is ordinarily run.
$SYSTEMTAP_DIR/ssl/server

/etc/systemtap/ssl/client
Global client-side SSL certificate database.
/etc/systemtap/staprun/

/var/run/stap-server/
stap-server service default location of status files for running servers.
/var/log/stap-server/log
stap-server service default log file.
