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 system dependent. 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. On systems that do not support extra state registers, these functions will return PS_NOXREGS.

Return Values

PS_OK

The call returned successfully.

PS_NOFPREGS

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

PS_NOXREGS

Extra state registers are not available on this system.

PS_ERR

The function did not return successfully.
