FUNCTION::USER_USHORT_WARN(3stap)

💖 function::user_ushort_warn 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the SystemTap Tapset Reference (that's the 3stap manual section, iykyk) and it's literally about grabbing one tiny little number out of user space. it's giving "small but mighty." let's go 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

function::user_ushort_warn — Retrieves an unsigned short value stored in user space

no cap, that's the whole job. one unsigned short. from user space. with a lil warning if it goes sideways. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

user_ushort_warn:long(addr:long)

look at that signature. she's a long, she takes a long. iconic behavior fr fr ⭐

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• addr — the user space address to retrieve the unsigned short from. like, that's the spot. that's where the lil guy lives. 📍

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Returns the unsigned short value from a given user space address.

and here's the part where she's actually kind of sweet: if the user space data is not accessible, she returns zero and warns about the failure — but she does not error. so she's like "hey bestie, couldn't get it, here's a zero, we move 🫶" instead of fully crashing the vibe.

ngl that "does not error" part is the whole personality of this function. remember it. 💀
