NAME         top

       stapvars - systemtap variables

DESCRIPTION         top

       The following sections enumerate the public variables provided by
       standard tapsets installed, (the installation path is show in the
       stappaths (7) manual page).  Each variable is described with a type,
       and its behavior/restrictions.  The syntax is the same as printed
       with the stap option -p2.  Examples:
       example1:long
              Variable "example1" contains an integer.
       example2:string [long]
              Variable "example2" is an array of strings, indexed by
              integers.
   ARGV
       argc:long
              Contains the value of the  $# value: the number of command
              line arguments passed to the systemtap script.  It is
              initialized with an implicit begin(-1) probe.
       argv:string [long]
              Contains each command line argument as a string.  argv[1] will
              equal @1 if there was at least one command line argument.
              Arguments beyond #32 are not transcribed, and produce a
              warning message within the begin(-1) probe that initializes
              this array.
   NULL
       NULL:long
              Simply defined as the number 0.
