.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Reads inlen characters of a buffer from the given kernel space memory address, and returns up to outlen characters, where any ASCII characters that are not printable are replaced by the corresponding escape sequence in the returned string\&. Note that the string will be surrounded by double quotes\&. On the rare cases when kernel space data is not accessible at the given address, an error is thrown\&.
