Examples

Get the first u64 argument from a function:

function::u64_arg void foo(u64) 0

Get the third u64 argument from a function that takes multiple u64 arguments:

function::u64_arg void bar(u64, u64, u64) 2

Common Issues

Argument Index Out of Bounds

If the provided argument index is greater than or equal to the number of u64 arguments in the function signature, the command will return -1.
