πŸ’– FUNCTION::SYMLINE β€” bestie edition πŸ’–

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 πŸ“, and let's get into it.


✨ NAME ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

symline:string(addr:long)

look at her. so simple. so powerful. main character energy fr fr ✨


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • addr β€” the address you want translated. like, the address. the one you're curious about. hand it over and let the function do its thing 🫢

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

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 😭

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. πŸ‘‘

ngl the "approximate" part is doing a lot of heavy lifting here β€” clock it, don't forget it πŸ’€
