NAME
       stap-prep - prepare system for systemtap use



SYNOPSIS
       stap-prep [ KERNELVERSION ]


DESCRIPTION
       The  stap-prep  executable  prepares  the  system  for systemtap use by
       installing kernel headers, debug symbols and build tools that match the
       currently  running kernel or optionally the kernel version given by the
       user.

       The exact behavior of stap-prep may be customized by  the  distribution
       maintainers.  It  might for example only give suggestions and not actu‐
       ally install the required packages if that is difficult to automate.


EXAMPLES
              $ stap-prep
              Please install linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64-dbg
