DESCRIPTION


These functions read process contract event information from an event
object returned by ct_event_read(3CONTRACT) or
ct_event_read_critical(3CONTRACT).


The ct_pr_event_get_pid() function reads the process ID of the process
generating the event.


The ct_pr_event_get_ppid() function reads the process ID of the process
that forked the new process causing the CT_PR_EV_FORK event.


The ct_pr_event_get_signal() function reads the signal number of the
signal that caused the CT_PR_EV_SIGNAL event.


The ct_pr_event_get_sender() function reads the process ID of the process
that sent the signal that caused the CT_PR_EV_SIGNAL event. If the
signal's sender was not in the same zone as the signal's recipient, this
information is available only to event consumers in the global zone.


The ct_pr_event_get_senderct() function reads the contract ID of the
process that sent the signal that caused the CT_PR_EV_SIGNAL event. If
the signal's sender was not in the same zone as the signal's recipient,
this information is available only to event consumers in the global zone.


The ct_pr_event_get_exitstatus() function reads the exit status of the
process generating a CT_PR_EV_EXIT event.


The ct_pr_event_get_pcorefile() function reads the name of the process
core file if one was created when the CT_PR_EV_CORE event was generated.
A pointer to a character array is stored in *namep and is freed when
ct_event_free(3CONTRACT) is called on the event handle.


The ct_pr_event_get_gcorefile() function reads the name of the zone's
global core file if one was created when the CT_PR_EV_CORE event was
generated. A pointer to a character array is stored in *namep and is
freed when ct_event_free() is called on the event handle.


The ct_pr_event_get_zcorefile() function reads the name of the system-
wide core file in the global zone if one was created when the
CT_PR_EV_CORE event was generated. This information is available only to
event consumers in the global zone. A pointer to a character array is
stored in *namep and is freed when ct_event_free() is called on the event
handle.

RETURN VALUES


Upon successful completion, ct_pr_event_get_pid(),
ct_pr_event_get_ppid(), ct_pr_event_get_signal(),
ct_pr_event_get_sender(), ct_pr_event_get_senderct(),
ct_pr_event_get_exitstatus(), ct_pr_event_get_pcorefile(),
ct_pr_event_get_gcorefile(), and ct_pr_event_get_zcorefile() return 0.
Otherwise, they return a non-zero error value.

ERRORS


The ct_pr_event_get_pid(), ct_pr_event_get_ppid(),
ct_pr_event_get_signal(), ct_pr_event_get_sender(),
ct_pr_event_get_senderct(), ct_pr_event_get_exitstatus(),
ct_pr_event_get_pcorefile(), ct_pr_event_get_gcorefile(), and
ct_pr_event_get_zcorefile() functions will fail if:

EINVAL
The evthdl argument is not a process contract event object.


The ct_pr_event_get_ppid(), ct_pr_event_get_signal(),
ct_pr_event_get_sender(), ct_pr_event_get_senderct(),
ct_pr_event_get_exitstatus(), ct_pr_event_get_pcorefile(),
ct_pr_event_get_gcorefile(), and ct_pr_event_get_zcorefile() functions
will fail if:

EINVAL
The requested data do not match the event type.


The ct_pr_event_get_sender() and ct_pr_event_get_senderct() functions
will fail if:

ENOENT
The process or contract ID of the sender was not available, or
the event object was read by a process running in a non-global
zone and the sender was in a different zone.


The ct_pr_event_get_pcorefile(), ct_pr_event_get_gcorefile(), and
ct_pr_event_get_zcorefile() functions will fail if:

ENOENT
The requested core file was not created.


The ct_pr_event_get_zcorefile() function will fail if:

ENOENT
The event object was read by a process running in a non-global
zone.


EXAMPLES


Example 1: Print the instigator of all CT_PR_EV_SIGNAL events.




Open the process contract bundle. Loop reading events. Fetch and display
the signalled pid and signalling pid for each CT_PR_EV_SIGNAL event
encountered.


#include <sys/types.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <libcontract.h>

...
int fd;
ct_evthdl_t event;
pid_t pid, sender;

fd = open("/system/contract/process/bundle", O_RDONLY);
for (;;) {
ct_event_read(fd, &event);
if (ct_event_get_type(event) != CT_PR_EV_SIGNAL) {
ct_event_free(event);
continue;
}
ct_pr_event_get_pid(event, &pid);
if (ct_pr_event_get_sender(event, &sender) == ENOENT)
printf("process %ld killed by unknown process\n",
(long)pid);
else
printf("process %ld killed by process %ld\n",
(long)pid, (long)sender);
ct_event_free(event);
}
...
