STAP(7)                                    Miscellaneous Information Manual                                   STAP(7)



NAME
       stappaths - systemtap configurable file paths




DESCRIPTION
       This  manual  page  was  generated  on 2016-11-12 for systemtap 3.0.  The following section will list the main
       paths in systemtap that are important to know and may be required to reference.

       /usr/share/systemtap/tapset/
              The directory for the standard probe-alias / function tapset library, unless overridden by the  SYSTEM‐
              TAP_TAPSET  environment variable or the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable.  These are described in the
              stapprobes(3stap), probe::*(3stap), and function::*(3stap) manual pages.

       /usr/share/systemtap/runtime/
              The runtime sources, unless overridden by the SYSTEMTAP_RUNTIME environment variable.

       /usr/bin/staprun
              The auxiliary program supervising module loading, interaction, and unloading.

       /usr/libexec/systemtap/stapio
              The auxiliary program for module input and output handling.

       /usr/include/sys/sdt.h
              Location of the <sys/sdt.h> headers.

       Kernel debuginfo Path: /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/
              The location of kernel debugging information when packaged into the kernel-debuginfo RPM, unless  over‐
              ridden  by  the  SYSTEMTAP_DEBUGINFO_PATH environment variable.  The default value for this variable is
              +:.debug:/usr/lib/debug:build.  elfutils searches vmlinux in this path and it interprets the path as  a
              base  directory  of which various subdirectories will be searched for finding debuginfo for the kernel,
              kernel modules, and user-space binaries.  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

              Corresponding  source files are usually located under /usr/src/debug/.  Further file information on us‐
              er-space applications can be determined per-basis using rpm -ql <package>-debuginfo. For supported  us‐
              er-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

              User's  private  client-side  SSL  certificate  database.  If  SYSTEMTAP_DIR is not set, the default is
              $HOME/.systemtap.

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

       /etc/systemtap/staprun/
              staprun's trusted signer certificate database.

       /etc/sysconfig/stap-server/
              stap-server service global configuration file.

       /etc/stap-server/conf.d/*.conf
              stap-server service configuration files for default servers.

       /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.
