updating oE peek_string
peek_string
<built-in> function peek_string(atom addr)
reads an ASCII string in RAM, starting from a supplied address.
Parameters:
- addr : an atom, the address at which to start reading.
Returns:
A sequence, of bytes, the string that could be read.
Errors:
Further, peeking in memory that does not belong to your process is something the operating system could prevent, and you'd crash with a machine level exception.
Comments:
An ASCII string is any sequence of bytes and ends with a 0 byte. If you peek_string at some place where there is no string, you will get a sequence of garbage.
