* What's new
+- The stap "-F" flag activates "flight recorder" mode, which consists of
+ translating the given script as usual, but implicitly launching it into
+ the background with staprun's existing "-L" (launch) option. A user
+ can later reattach to the module with "staprun -A MODULENAME".
+
- Additional context variables are available on user-space syscall probes.
- $argN ($arg1, $arg2, ... $arg6) in process(PATH_OR_PID).syscall
gives you the argument of the system call.
