FUNCTION::SYMFILELIN(3stap)

💖 FUNCTION::SYMFILELIN 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Context Functions section of the 3stap manual — yes that's the SystemTap tapset reference, and yes we're about to make addresses spill their whole life story 🕵️♀️✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

function::symfileline — returns the file name and the line number of an address, like a little receipt for where a thing lives 🧾💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

symfileline:string(addr:long)

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• addr — the address you want translated. give it the address, it gives you the lore. 🔍

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea ☕: this one hands you back the file name and the (approximate) line number of the address you passed in — if it knows them. lowkey the line number is approximate, not exact-exact, so don't come for it about precision, it's doing its best 🥺

And if the file name or the line number can't be found? No drama, no crash — it just gives you back the hex string representation of the address instead. it's giving "well, here's what I got" 😌
