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

NAME

Pdelbkpt - clear a breakpoint in a process

LIBRARY

Process Control Library (libproc, -lproc)

SYNOPSIS

#include <libproc.h>

int
Pdelbkpt(struct ps_prochandle *P, uintptr_t address, ulong_t saved);

DESCRIPTION

The Pdelbkpt() function removes the breakpoint installed at address from
process P. Restoring the instruction present in saved.

If the instruction at address is no longer the architecture-specific
breakpoint instruction, then saved is not restored, but the function still
returns successfully. This behavior is done due to the presence of setting
breakpoints in self-modifying code, e.g. procedure linkage tables.

The Pdelbkpt() function only works on running processes, such as those
created through Pgrab(3PROC) and Pcreate(3PROC). Attempting to remove a
breakpoint from process handles to core files, zombie processes, or ELF
objects will fail.

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, the Pdelbkpt() function removes the breakpoint
and returns 0. Otherwise, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the
error.

ERRORS

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

The Pdelbkpt() function will fail with:

ENOENT The handle P refers to a grabbed core file, a zombie
process, or an ELF object.
