.Dd May 11, 2016 .Dt PLWP_GETASRS 3PROC .Os .Sh NAME .Nm Plwp_getasrs , .Nm Plwp_setasrs .Nd get and set SPARCv9 ancillary state registers .Sh SYNOPSIS .Lb libproc n libproc.h .Ft int .Fo Plwp_getasrs .Fa "struct ps_prochandle *P" .Fa "lwpid_t lwpid" .Fa "asrset_t asrs" .Fc .Ft int .Fo Plwp_setasrs .Fa "struct ps_prochandle *P" .Fa "lwpid_t lwpid" .Fa "const asrset_t asrs" .Fc .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Fn Plwp_getasrs and .Fn Plwp_setasrs functions get and set the ancillary thread-specific register set of the thread .Fa lwpid in the process handle .Fa P .

p The ancillary state registers are only present on 64-bit .Sy SPARCv9 processes. They contain information that is specific to the platform and are not included in the information obtained through functions such as .Xr Plwp_getregs 3PROC , .Xr Plwp_getfpregs 3PROC , and .Xr Plwp_getxregs 3PROC .

p The Plwp_getasrs function reads the ancillary registers into .Fa asrs , while the .Fn Plwp_setasrs sets the thread's ancillary registers to the values provided by .Fa asrs .

p Processes should be stopped prior to obtaining the register state of individual threads. Processes may be stopped with .Xr Pstop 3PROC .

p The .Sy asrset_t structure is described in .Xr proc 4 .

p One may not set the register values of a process that is not an active process, e.g. a process handle that refers to a file or a core file. .Sh RETURN VALUES Upon successful completion, the .Fn Plwp_getasrs and .Fn Plwp_setasrs functions return .Sy 0 and get or set the register state. Otherwise, .Sy -1 is returned and .Sy errno is set to indicate the error. .Sh ERRORS For a full list of possible errors see the .Sy DIAGNOSTICS section in .Xr proc 4 .

p The .Fn Plwp_getasrs and .Fn Plwp_setasrs function will fail if: l -tag -width Er t Er ENODATA The process handle .Fa P does not have any ancillary register state information. t Er EBUSY The process handle .Fa P refers to a live process and it is not stopped. t Er ENOENT The process handle .Fa P refers to a live process and there is no thread with id .Fa lwpid or it is not a 64-bit SPARCv9 process. t Er EINVAL The process handle .Fa P refers to a core file and there is no thread with id .Fa lwpid . .El .Sh ARCHITECTURE The .Fn Plwp_getasrs and .Fn Plwp_setasrs functions are only available on 64-bit .Sy SPARCv9 platforms. .Sh INTERFACE STABILITY .Sy Uncommitted .Sh MT-LEVEL See .Sy LOCKING in .Xr libproc 3LIB . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr libproc 3LIB , .Xr Plwp_getfpregs 3PROC , .Xr Plwp_getregs 3PROC , .Xr Plwp_setregs 3PROC , .Xr Plwp_setregs 3PROC , .Xr Pstop 3PROC , .Xr proc 4
