FUNCTI...ER_INT8(3stap)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is function::user_int8 β€” it grabs an 8-bit integer value that's chillin' in user space. that's the whole vibe. it lives in the 3stap manual, iykyk πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

user_int8:long(addr:long)

like... that's it. one arg, one return, no drama πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • addr β€” the user space address you wanna pull that 8-bit integer out of. that's the spot, bestie, that's where the data's at πŸ“βœ¨

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so basically, this function returns the 8-bit integer value from whatever user space address you handed it. iconic behaviour, truly.

and when the user space data isn't accessible? it doesn't throw a fit or anything β€” it just returns zero. lowkey the chillest fallback ever 🫢

no cap: if you can't get to the data, you get 0. that's the deal. don't read into it, don't assume it means the value was actually zero. it's giving "couldn't reach, here's a zero instead" πŸ’€
