FUNCTION::MODNAME(3stap)

💖 NAME 💖

function::modname — bestie, this is the little tapset function that tells you which kernel module is chillin' at a given address ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

modname:string(addr:long)

That's it. One argument, one string back. She's simple like that 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• addr — the address you wanna map to a kernel module name 🗺️ Like, "who lives at this address??" and modname is gonna tell you.

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so, the way this works: you hand her an address, she hands you back the module name associated with it, if it's known 🫶

If the module name is not known, she will raise an error. Not a vibe, but that's the deal 😭

And here's the fun little plot twist: if the address wasn't in a kernel module at all, but was in the kernel itself? Then you get the string "kernel" back. Iconic. Main character behavior fr fr 👑
