FUNCTION::USER_SHORT_ERROR(3stap)

💖 FUNCTION::USER_SHORT_ERROR — ok bestie, let's get this short 💖

so this is a page from the 3stap manual (that's the SystemTap tapset reference, iykyk), and it's all about one lil function that goes digging in user space for a short. she's small but she's mighty. let's go 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

function::user_short_error — retrieves a short value stored in user space

like. that's the whole job. she fetches a short from user space. iconic behavior honestly 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

user_short_error:long(addr:long)

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• addr — the user space address to retrieve the short from

that's the one (1) thing you gotta hand her: where to look. give her the address and she's off 🦋

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the tea: this function returns the short value from a given user space address. you point, she fetches, everybody's happy. ✨

but lowkey listen — if the user space data is not accessible, an error will occur. not a vibe. so make sure that address is actually reachable before you go poking at it, bestie 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• tapset::uconversions(3stap)

go read that one too, she's part of the same friend group 💖

and that's the whole page, no cap. every flag, every arg, every warning — all of it, preserved, just with way more sparkle. ✨

this lil masterpiece comes to you from the SystemTap Tapset Reference, version Ver, dated September 2026, living in the 3stap manual. mwah, take care of her 🫶🎀🦋
