SYNOPSIS

11       stap-prep [ KERNEL_VERSION ]
12
13

DESCRIPTION

15       The  stap-prep  executable  prepares  the  system  for systemtap use by
16       installing kernel headers, debug symbols and build tools that match the
17       currently  running kernel or optionally the kernel version given by the
18       user.
19
20       If the debuginfod-find tool is installed and is able to fetch debuginfo
21       for  a  kernel  component, it is assumed to remain available later.  In
22       this case, no debug symbols will be downloaded during stap-prep.
23
24       The exact behavior of stap-prep may be customized by  the  distribution
25       maintainers.  It  might for example only give suggestions and not actu‐
26       ally install the required packages if that is difficult to automate.
