FUNCTION::POINTER_AR(3stap)

💖 function::pointer_arg — NAME ✨

okay bestie, so this is function::pointer_arg from the Context Functions chapter of the SystemTap Tapset Reference (3stap, iykyk) — and it literally just returns a function argument as a pointer value. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pointer_arg:long(n:long)

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• n — the index of the argument you want back. that's it, that's the input, she's lowkey a one-job icon 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what it does: it returns the unsigned value of argument n, exactly the same as what ulong_arg gives you. no cap, same numbers. 🔥

and the best part? you can use it with any type of pointer. any. type. pointers of every flavor, all welcome, no type discrimination, it's giving inclusivity 💜
