Subject: [Bug translator/6826] New: shorthand or variable for probed executable's path
Date: Fri, 08 Aug 2008 21:26:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080808212540.6826.jkenisto@us.ibm.com> (raw)

Suppose the program I'm probing has a really long pathname, or at least one that
I'd rather not retype or copy&paste a lot.  Is there some way to arrange it so
every probe definition doesn't have to start with
  probe process("/a/really/long/pathname").whatever ...
?

BTW, I don't consider this a viable solution:
  probe process(@1).whatever ...
  stap xxx.stp /a/really/long/pathname
