.Dd May 11, 2016 .Dt PLWP_GETSPYMASTER 3PROC .Os .Sh NAME .Nm Plwp_getspymaster .Nd get agent LWP spy master information .Sh SYNOPSIS .Lb libproc n libproc.h .Ft int .Fo Plwp_getspymaster .Fa "struct ps_prochandle *P" .Fa "lwpid_t lwpid" .Fa "psinfo_t *ps" .Fc .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Fn Plwp_getspymaster function returns information about the spy master that corresponds to the agent LWP for the thread .Fa lwpid in the process handle .Fa P .

p The agent LWP allows another process to inject actions into the target process. When an agent LWP is created, it leverages an existing thread in the process and it also creates a record of whom created the agent, which is called the spy master. For more information on the agent LWP and the spy master, see .Xr proc 4 .

p If the thread identified .Fa lwpid has an agent LWP, the corresponding ps information (see .Xr proc 4 for the definition of the .Sy psinfo_t Ns ) will be filled into .Fa ps .

p Note, process handles that correspond to a file, created by .Xr Pgrab_file 3PROC , cannot have an agent LWP created for them and thus cannot have any spy master information. In addition, core files from older releases may not have any data on the spy master. .Sh RETURN VALUES Upon successful completion, the .Fn Plwp_getspymaster returns .Sy 0 and updates .Fa ps . Otherwise, it returns .Sy -1 , sets .Sy errno , and .Fa ps is not modified. .Sh ERRORS For a full list of possible errors also see the .Sy DIAGNOSTICS section in .Xr proc 4 .

p The .Fn Plwp_getpsinfo function will fail if: l -tag -width Er t Er ENODATA .Fa P refers to a file handle obtained through .Xr Pgrab_file 3PROC or .Fa P does not have any information about the spy master. t Er EINVAL The process handle .Fa P refers to a core file and the specified thread does not exist.

p The thread, .Fa lwpid does not have an active agent, .Dv PR_AGENT is not set in the .Sy pr_flags member of the thread's status information. t Er ENOENT The process handle .Fa P refers to an active process and the specified thread does not exist. .El .Sh INTERFACE STABILITY .Sy Uncommitted .Sh MT-LEVEL See .Sy LOCKING in .Xr libproc 3LIB . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr libproc 3LIB , .Xr proc 4
