FUNCTION::PRINT_USYM(3stap)
β¨ FUNCTION::PRINT_USYMS β¨
okay bestie, gather round, because this one is from the SystemTap Tapset Reference β it's a little context function called print_usyms and it is so useful when you've got a pile of user-space addresses and you need them to make sense π
π NAME π
function::print_usyms β print out user stack from string, no cap π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
print_usyms(callers:string)
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
callersβ a string holding a list of hexadecimal (user) addresses. that's it, that's the whole input π«Ά
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
so what this does is it does a symbolic lookup on all the addresses sitting in that string you handed it. and here's the vibe: those addresses are assumed to be the result of prior calls to ustack, ucallers, and similar functions. so like, don't just roll up with random hex and expect magic, bestie π
it prints one line per address, and each of those lines gives you:
- the address itself
- the name of the function that contains that address
- an estimate of its position within that function β and that little estimate comes courtesy of
usymdata
and then? it returns nothing. it's giving "I just print, I don't give back". main character energy, honestly π
π SEE ALSO π
fr fr, if you've ever stared at a wall of hex addresses and felt your soul leave your body β this function is your bestie. it translates the chaos into actual function names. iconic behaviour, periodt π
