FUNCTION::SET_USER_POINTER(3stap)

💖 function::set_user_pointer — bestie, we're writing a pointer to user memory 💖

okay so this is a 3stap page, from the SystemTap Tapset Reference, and it lives in the "String and data writing functions" section of the tapset crew. it's a little function with one job and it does it beautifully 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

function::set_user_pointer — writes a pointer value to user memory. that's it, that's the whole personality 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

set_user_pointer(addr:long,val:long)

look at her. two args, zero drama, main character energy 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• addr — the user address you're writing the pointer to. it's a long, so it's the spot in user memory where the magic lands 📍
• val — the actual pointer that's getting written. also a long. this is the thing being placed at addr ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically? it writes the pointer value to a given user memory address. that's the whole vibe 💖

if the write to that address fails, it reports an error. no silent Ls here, it will absolutely tell you 😭

and here's the part where you gotta pay attention, bestie — this one requires the use of guru mode (-g). no guru mode, no write. periodt. 🔥
