If a field in a function based event is defined with type "char[##]" then it
will be considered a static string. If a user wants an actual byte array
they should use one of u8, s8, or x8.
Now we can get strings from events:
# echo 'SyS_openat(int dfd, char[64] buf, x32 flags, x32 mode)' > function_events
# grep xxx /etc/*
# cat trace
grep-1745 [001] .... 346135.431364: entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath->SyS_openat(dfd=-100, buf=/etc/adjtime, flags=100, mode=0)

+Static strings
+==============
+
+An array of type 'char' or 'unsigned char' will be processed as a string using
+the format "%s". If a nul is found, the output will stop. Use another type
+(x8, u8, s8) if this is not desired.
