PR_MEMCNTL(3PROC) Process Control Library Functions PR_MEMCNTL(3PROC)
NAME
pr_memcntl - inject memcntl system call into victim process
LIBRARY
Process Control Library (libproc, -lproc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <libproc.h> int pr_memcntl(
struct ps_prochandle *P,
caddr_t addr,
size_t len,
int cmd,
caddr_t arg,
int attr,
int mask);
DESCRIPTION
The
pr_memcntl() function injects the
memcntl(2) system call into the
target process
P by means of the agent LWP. If the process handle
P is the
value NULL then this will be equivalent to calling
memcntl(2) on the
currently running process.
The arguments
addr,
len,
cmd,
arg,
attr, and
mask have the same meaning as
in
memcntl(2). See
memcntl(2) for the full description and purpose of the
memcntl system call and its arguments.
The
pr_memcntl() function only works on active processes. Process handles
that correspond to core files, zombie processes, or ELF objects do not
support system call injection.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the
pr_memcntl() function's return value is
that described in
memcntl(2). Otherwise,
-1 is returned and
errno is set
to ENOSYS to indicate that the system call could not be injected.
ERRORS
For the full list of errors see the
ERRORS section in
memcntl(2).
The
pr_memcntl() function will fail if:
ENOSYS An error occurred while trying to invoke the agent LWP
and inject a system call in the process handle
P or the
process handle
P does not support system call injection.
