FUNCTION::UINT_ARG(3stap)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, so this is the function::uint_arg page from the SystemTap Tapset Reference (that's the 3stap manual, section 3, tapset girlies 💅). and what does this lil function do? it returns a function argument as an unsigned int. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

uint_arg:long(n:long)

look at that signature. gorgeous. iconic. no cap. ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• n — the index of the argument you want back. like, which argument, bestie. that's the one you point at. 👉✨

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so uint_arg returns the value of argument n as an unsigned int — and lowkey the important part is what that means: it's a 32-bit integer that gets zero-extended to 64 bits. 🫶

like. it's not doing anything spooky. it takes argument number n, treats it as a 32-bit unsigned thing, and pads it out to 64 bits with zeros so it fits nice and pretty in the register-sized world. it's giving "small int, big shoes". 👑
