+Function arguments at kretprobe
+-------------------------------
+Function arguments can be accessed at kretprobe using $arg<N> fetcharg. This
+is useful to record the function parameter and return value at once, and
+trace the difference of structure fields (for debuging a function whether it
+correctly updates the given data structure or not).
+See the :ref:`sample<fprobetrace_exit_args_sample>` in fprobe event for how
+it works.
