✨ NAME ✨

function::string_quoted — Quotes a given string 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

string_quoted:string(str:string)

like... that's it. that's the whole vibe. one arg in, one string out. 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• str — the kernel address you wanna pull the string from. yes, the address. you're reaching into the kernel and grabbing a string, no cap. 🫶

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the tea, fr fr: string_quoted hands you back the quoted string version of whatever string you gave it. 💖

but wait, there's more — any ASCII characters in there that are not printable? they don't just get yeeted. nope. they get replaced by the corresponding escape sequence in the string that comes back to you. iconic behavior honestly. 🌈

and the cherry on top: the returned string is gonna be surrounded by double quotes. yes, literally wrapped up all cute like a little present. 💝

so like. it's giving "printable, safe, quoted, ready to go." no notes. 🧚

ngl the input is a kernel address, so you already know to be careful with what you're pointing at. that part's on you, bestie. 💀
