All probes must be added by "--add" action. So we need a new probe syntax for specifying sdt marker. How about the below syntax? [EVENT=]%PROVIDER:MARKER [ARG ...] Of course, this will require to list up all markers with "%" prefix for continuity. And since --list option is to list up all existing(defined) probe events, I think --markers (as like as --funcs) is better for listing it up.
