FUNCTION::USYMNAME(3stap)
β¨ NAME β¨</p>
function::usymname β bestie, this one returns the symbol of an address in the current task π
So this page lives in the FUNCTION::USYMNAME(3stap) manual, section 3stap, and honestly? It's a little icon. Short king energy. Let's get into it π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
usymname:string(addr:long)
That's it. That's the whole vibe. One argument, one string coming back at you π¦
π ARGUMENTS π
addrβ the address you want translated. That's the assignment, bestie, hand it over β¨
π DESCRIPTION π
Okay so here's what's tea: you give it an address, and it hands you back the (function) symbol name that's associated with that address β but only if it actually knows it. If it doesn't know? No drama, it just returns the hex string representation of addr instead. So you always get a string back, it's just sometimes the β¨mystery versionβ¨ of the answer π
Not me trusting this function to always give me a symbol nameβ¦ girl, it will lowkey hand you a hex string and you'll be squinting at it like π
fr fr, read the return value carefully β known symbol name first, hex string as the fallback. That's the whole deal.

This little icon comes to you from the SystemTap Tapset Reference, Ver (yes it really just says "Ver", we're leaving that exactly as it is, iconic) π and it's dated September 2026. Slay, stay safe, and always check whether you got a symbol or a hex string bestie πβ¨π¦
