fasttrap Provider

The fasttrap provider allows for tracing at specific, preprogrammed user process locations. Unlike most other DTrace providers, the fasttrap provider is not designed for tracing system activity. Rather, this provider is meant as a way for DTrace consumers to inject information into the DTrace framework by activating the fasttrap probe.
