## Command `canary`

If the currently debugged process was compiled with the Smash Stack Protector (SSP) - i.e. the
`-fstack-protector` flag was passed to the compiler, this command will display the value of the
canary. This makes it convenient to avoid manually searching for this value in memory.

The command `canary` does not take any arguments.
