FUNCTION::USYMLINE(3stap)

💖 FUNCTION::USYMLINE 💖

okay bestie, so this is function::usymline from the 3stap manual (that's the SystemTap Tapset Reference, if you were wondering) — and it's literally just here to tell you which line a given address lives on. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic, honestly. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

function::usymline — Return the line number of an address.

no cap, that's the entire vibe. give it an address, it gives you a line number. 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

usymline:string(addr:long)

so it takes a long and hands you back a string. the way that's such a clean little signature. 💅

---

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

• addr — The address to translate. that's the one and only thing you're feeding it, bestie. hand it an address and let it do its thing. 🫶

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Returns the (approximate) line number of the given address, if known. 🔥

yes, approximate — so don't come for me if it's off by a lil bit, that's just how it is.

and if it can't find the line number? no worries, no crash, no drama — it just hands you back the hex string representation of the address instead. so you always get something, which is honestly very generous of it. 💀

lowkey important: a hex address coming back instead of a number is not an error, it's just the fallback. read it and know that the line number was a mystery that day. 🧚
