Subject: lttng-{enable-event(1),event-rule(7)}: `--filter` is not always avail.
X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org/?p=lttng-tools.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=4ccdbb61116a1ec301328353d18e705221f35ecc

lttng-{enable-event(1),event-rule(7)}: `--filter` is not always avail.

The `--filter` option of both lttng-enable-event(1) and a common event
rule specification is not available with the Linux kprobe, kretprobe,
and user space probe instrumentation point types.
