PS_LGETREGS 3PROC "January 23, 2023"
NAME
ps_lgetregs, ps_lsetregs, ps_lgetfpregs, ps_lsetfpregs, ps_lgetxregsize, ps_lgetxregs, ps_lsetxregs - routines that access the target process register in libthread_db
SYNOPSIS
#include <proc_service.h>

ps_err_e ps_lgetregs(struct ps_prochandle *ph, lwpid_t lid,
 prgregset_t gregset);

ps_err_e ps_lsetregs(struct ps_prochandle *ph, lwpid_t lid,
 static prgregset_t gregset);

ps_err_e ps_lgetfpregs(struct ps_prochandle *ph, lwpid_t lid,
 prfpregset_t *fpregs);

ps_err_e ps_lsetfpregs(struct ps_prochandle *ph, lwpid_t lid,
 static prfpregset_t *fpregs);

ps_err_e ps_lgetxregsize(struct ps_prochandle *ph, lwpid_t lid,
 int *xregsize);

ps_err_e ps_lgetxregs(struct ps_prochandle *ph, lwpid_t lid,
 caddr_t xregset);

ps_err_e ps_lsetxregs(struct ps_prochandle *ph, lwpid_t lid,
 caddr_t xregset);
DESCRIPTION
ps_lgetregs(), ps_lsetregs(), ps_lgetfpregs(), ps_lsetfpregs(), ps_lgetxregsize(), ps_lgetxregs(), ps_lsetxregs() read and write register sets from lightweight processes (LWPs) within the target process identified by ph. ps_lgetregs() gets the general registers of the LWP identified by lid, and ps_lsetregs() sets them. ps_lgetfpregs() gets the LWP's floating point register set, while ps_lsetfpregs() sets it.

ps_lgetxregsize(), ps_lgetxregs(), and ps_lsetxregs() are used to get and set the extended register set. Support for an extended register set depends on both the instruction-set architecture and the specific CPU (e.g. while x86 supports xregs, their availability depends on the CPU's support for the xsave feature set). On platforms without support for these, controlling processes will still need to define them; however, they are allowed to simply return errors.

ps_lgetxregsize() returns in *xregsize the size of the architecture-dependent extra state registers. ps_lgetxregs() gets the extra state registers, and ps_lsetxregs() sets them. When getting the registers, the size of xregset must be at least the size returned by ps_lgetxregsize().

RETURN VALUES
PS_OK

The call returned successfully.

PS_NOFREGS

Floating point registers are neither available for this architecture nor for this process.

PS_NOXREGS

Extra state registers are not available on this architecture.

PS_ERR

The function did not return successfully.
