FUNCTION::KERNEL_BUFFER_QUOTED_ERROR(3stap)

💖 function::kernel_buffer_quoted_error

okay bestie, we're in the SystemTap Tapset Reference, section 3stap, and this little icon is a tapset function. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

function::kernel_buffer_quoted_error — grabs a buffer from kernel space and quotes it for you, no cap 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

kernel_buffer_quoted_error:string(addr:long,inlen:long,outlen:long)

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• addr — the kernel space address you wanna pull the buffer from, like the exact spot bestie 📍
• inlen — the exact length of the buffer to read. exact. not vibes-based. exact. 🔥
• outlen — the maximum length of the output string, so it doesn't just keep going forever 😭

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — it reads inlen characters of a buffer from the given kernel space memory address, and hands you back up to outlen characters. and the way that any ASCII characters that are not printable get replaced by the corresponding escape sequence in the returned string? yeah. iconic behavior honestly. ✨

also note: the string will be surrounded by double quotes. periodt. 💅

and on the rare cases when kernel space data is not accessible at the given address, an error is thrown. like, it's giving dramatic but it's valid. 🙈
