Script
The following text is the contents of the debug.stp file.
global starttime
probe begin
{
starttime = gettimeofday_s()
}
probe kernel.function("sys_open").call
{
if(execname()==@1) {
filename = user_string($filename)
printf("[%6d] %s(%d) open %s\n", (gettimeofday_s() - starttime), execname(), pid(), filename)
}
}
