FUNCTION::USER_BUFFER_QUOTED_ERROR(3stap)

💖 NAME 💖

function::user_buffer_quoted_error — bestie, this one retrieves a buffer from user space and then quotes it for you ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

user_buffer_quoted_error:string(addr:long,inlen:long,outlen:long)

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• addr — the user space address we're gonna go pull the buffer from, no cap 🫶
• inlen — the exact length of the buffer to read. Like, exactly that many. Not vibes-based, actual exact 💅
• outlen — the maximum length of the output string that comes back to you

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function reads inlen characters of a buffer from the user space memory address you handed it, and it returns up to outlen characters. but here's the cute part: any ASCII character that is not printable gets swapped out for the corresponding escape sequence in the returned string. glow-up, honestly 🌈

and the string comes back surrounded by double quotes. it's giving quoted. it's giving presentable. periodt 💅

⚠️ but bestie listen — on the rare occasions when the user space data isn't accessible at the address you gave, an error is thrown. so like, be aware. no cap 😭
