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

NAME

Pgetauxvec - obtain process auxiliary vector

LIBRARY

Process Control Library (libproc, -lproc)

SYNOPSIS

#include <libproc.h>

const auxv_t *
Pgetauxvec(struct ps_prochandle *P);

DESCRIPTION

The Pgetauxvec() function returns a pointer to a copy of the auxiliary
vector for the process handle P. If the process handle does not represent
an actively running process or the auxiliary vector could not be found,
then it instead returns an empty auxiliary vector. The definitions of the
auxv_t may be found in <sys/auxv.h>.

The returned auxiliary vector should not be used across any subsequent
calls to libproc(3LIB).

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, the Pgetauxvec() function always returns a
pointer to an auxiliary vector.

INTERFACE STABILITY

Uncommitted

MT-LEVEL
