FUNCTION::SYMFILE(3stap)

💖 NAME 💖

function::symfile — bestie, this one hands you the file name that a given address lives in. that's it, that's the whole job 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

symfile:string(addr:long)

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• addr — the address you want translated, bestie. give it the address, it does the translating. it's giving translator era 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe: symfile takes your address and returns the file name of that address, if known. that's the whole slay.

but — and this is the important part — if it cannot find the file name? no cap, it's not gonna leave you hanging with nothing. it will return the hex string representation of the address instead. so you always get something back. lowkey iconic behaviour honestly 😭💖

so like, always check: is this a real file name, or is it just the address dressed up in hex? iykyk 👑
