# probe::syscall\_any.return(3stap)

Record exit from a syscall

## NAME

probe::syscall\_any.return - Record exit from a syscall

## SYNOPSIS

```
syscall_any.return
```

## VALUES

*syscall\_nr*

number of the syscall

*retval*

return value of the syscall

*name*

name of the syscall

## CONTEXT

The process performing the syscall

## DESCRIPTION

The syscall\_any.return probe point is designed to be a low overhead that monitors all the syscalls returns via a kernel tracepoint. Because of the breadth of syscalls it monitors it provides no information about the syscall arguments, argstr string representation of those arguments, or a string interpretation of the return value (retval).

This requires kernel 3.5+ and newer which have the kernel.trace(“sys\_exit”) probe point.
