FUNCTION::SYMLINE(3stap)
π FUNCTION::SYMLINE β bestie edition π
okay so real talk, this is a page straight out of the SystemTap Tapset Reference, section 3stap, and it's about one lil function that's lowkey a lifesaver. sit with me, grab a strawberry π, and let's get into it.
β¨ NAME β¨
function::symline β returns the line number of an address. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic behavior honestly π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
symline:string(addr:long)
look at her. so simple. so powerful. main character energy fr fr β¨
π ARGUMENTS π
addrβ the address you want translated. like, the address. the one you're curious about. hand it over and let the function do its thing π«Ά
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so here's the vibe: symline returns the (approximate) line number of the address you gave it β if it's known. key word bestie: approximate. not exact. don't come for her, she's doing her best π
and if the line number cannot be found? no worries, she's not gonna leave you hanging. in that case, she returns the hex string representation of the address instead. so you always get something back. always. periodt. π
ngl the "approximate" part is doing a lot of heavy lifting here β clock it, don't forget it π
π SEE ALSO π
ngl there's nothing else listed here, so... that's the whole squad. just her. solo queen π
and that's the page!! brought to you by the SystemTap Tapset Reference, version vibes as of September 2026, under the header FUNCTION::SYMLINE(3stap) β mwah, go translate some addresses bestie ππ§
