✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

1) user_string_warn:string(addr:long)

2) user_string_warn:string(addr:long,warn_msg:string)

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• addr — the user space address we're pulling the string from, periodt 📍
• warn_msg — the warning message you want handed back when the data just isn't there 😭

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

1. Returns the null terminated C string from a given user space memory address. In those rare cases when userspace data is not accessible, it reports "" and warns (but does not abort) about the failure. So like, it tells you something went wrong, but it doesn't spiral 💅
2. Returns the null terminated C string from a given user space memory address. When userspace data is not accessible — rare, but it happens 🙈 — it reports the warning message you gave it instead, and warns (but does not abort) about the failure. Same energy as version 1, except you get to pick the words 💬

Ngl the key thing here: it warns and does not abort. It's giving gentle honesty, not main character meltdown. 🔥
