TAPSET::CONVERSIONS-GURU(3stap)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, so this is tapset::conversions-guru — the systemtap conversions-guru tapset, living its best life in manual section 3stap. it's giving "write stuff into kernel memory" energy, and honestly? iconic. 🎀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

this tapset is a whole squad of little functions whose entire job is writing values into kernel memory. seven of them. all baddies. let me introduce you 🫶

• set_kernel_string — writes a string to kernel memory 🌸

See function::set_kernel_string(3stap) for details.

• set_kernel_string_n — writes a string of given length to kernel memory ✨

See function::set_kernel_string_n(3stap) for details.

• set_kernel_long — writes a long value to kernel memory 💅

See function::set_kernel_long(3stap) for details.

• set_kernel_int — writes an int value to kernel memory 🦋

See function::set_kernel_int(3stap) for details.

• set_kernel_short — writes a short value to kernel memory ⭐

See function::set_kernel_short(3stap) for details.

• set_kernel_char — writes a char value to kernel memory 🍓

See function::set_kernel_char(3stap) for details.

• set_kernel_pointer — writes a pointer value to kernel memory. 👑

See function::set_kernel_pointer(3stap) for details.

no cap, every single one of these has its own deep-dive page. if you wanna actually use one, go read the function:: page for it, okay? that's where the real tea is. ☕
