FUNCTION::USER_SHORT_WARN(3stap)

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

okay so this is a page from the SystemTap Tapset Reference, manual section 3stap (yes, the cute little 3stap corner of the man-page universe, we love her) πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

function::user_short_warn β€” retrieves a short value stored in user space 🫢


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

user_short_warn:long(addr:long)

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • addr β€” the user space address you wanna retrieve the short from, bestie πŸ“

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So basically: it returns the short value from a given user space address. iconic behavior honestly πŸ’…

But here's the tea β€” if the user space data is not accessible, it returns zero, and it warns about the failure. Note the vibe: it warns. It does not error. it's giving "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed" energy 😭


✨ SEE ALSO ✨


that's the whole page, no filler, no gatekeeping πŸ’œ
