FUNCTION::SET_KERNEL_INT(3stap)

✨ FUNCTION::SET_KERNEL_INT ✨

ok so bestie, we're in the 3stap manual, in the String and data writing functions section, and today's main character is a lil tapset function called set_kernel_int. she's small. she's powerful. she writes ints straight into kernel memory. 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

function::set_kernel_int — Writes an int value to kernel memory 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

set_kernel_int(addr:long,val:long)

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• addr — The kernel address to write the int to. this is the spot. the location. the address, literally. 📍
• val — The int which is to be written. the actual number you're yeeting into memory. 🔢

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Writes the int value to a given kernel memory address. it just does. no cap. 🫶

Reports an error when writing to the given address fails — so if the write doesn't go through, you're gonna hear about it, bestie. 😭

Requires the use of guru mode (-g). guru mode is not a vibe check you pass casually — it's the full send mode where you're trusted with the kernel's actual memory. be careful, fr fr. 💀
