PSETRUN(3PROC) Process Control Library Functions PSETRUN(3PROC)

Psetrun, Lsetrun — run a stopped process or thread

Process Control Library (libproc, -lproc)

#include <libproc.h>

int
Psetrun(struct ps_prochandle *P, int sig, int flags);

int
Lsetrun(struct ps_lwphandle *L, int sig, int flags);

The () function resumes the stopped process handle P and transitions the process to running. If sig is non-zero, then the Psetrun() function causes the signal to be delivered. See signal.h(3HEAD) for a list of valid signal identifiers.

The flags member modifies the behavior of the resumed handle. The following values may be combined by a bitwise-inclusive-OR:

Clears the current signal, if any.
Clears the current fault, if any.
Indicates that the thread should single-step over the next machine instruction and upon completion, inject a trap. For the specific mechanics of single-stepping and what traps or signals will be injected, see the PRSTEP section of proc(5).
Indicates that the thread should abort the system call that it is currently executing. This is only valid if the thread is stopped because it is asleep or right before a system call. This will cause the system call to return EINTR.

If both PRCSIG is specified and sig is non-zero, then the PRCSIG request takes priority, and it will be treated as though sig was passed the argument 0.

When the process is resumed all extent tracing flags and register changes will be synchronized with the process. For more information on resuming a thread see the section in proc(5).

Note, the () function is only valid for active processes. It will fail on process handles that refer to core files, zombie processes, and ELF objects.

The () function is equivalent to the Psetrun() function, except rather than operating on a process it operates on a thread. Lsetrun() causes the specified thread, L, to resume execution. Whereas Psetrun() causes all threads in the process to resume.

Upon successful completion, the Psetrun() and Lsetrun() functions return 0. Otherwise, is returned and is set to indicate the error.

For a full list of possible errors see the section in proc(5).

The Psetrun() and Lsetrun() functions will fail if:

The process handle P is not currently stopped or it is not stopped due to an event of interest, a directed stop, or it is asleep in a system call.
