STAP-PREP(1)                                   General Commands Manual                                   STAP-PREP(1)



NAME
       stap-prep - prepare system for systemtap use



SYNOPSIS
       stap-prep [ KERNEL_VERSION ]


DESCRIPTION
       The stap-prep executable prepares the system for systemtap use by installing kernel headers, debug symbols and
       build tools that match the currently running kernel or optionally the kernel version given by the user.

       The exact behavior of stap-prep may be customized by the distribution maintainers. It might for  example  only
       give suggestions and not actually install the required packages if that is difficult to automate.


EXAMPLES
              $ stap-prep
              Please install linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64-dbg
