Consumers must explicitly .Em interpose on this symbol and provide their own definition, if desired. There is no requirement for such an interposition to be done. When called, .Fa P will be the process handle that the additional diagnostics are being generated for and the diagnostics will be provided in a .Xr printf 3C style. .Sh INTERFACE STABILITY .Sy Uncommitted

p While the interposing interface is .Sy uncommitted , the provided diagnostics are .Sy Not-an-Interface and may change at any time. .Sh LOCKING Callers should presume that this function may be called from multiple threads and always in a context in which taking locks is fine. Callers should not expect to be called from a signal handler. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr libproc 3LIB
