.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn Psetentry
and
.Fn Psetexit
functions controls what actions the process handle
.Fa P
should take upon executing a system call.
p
The system allows a process to be stopped on both entry and exit of a
system call. For information on the state of the process when it is
stopped due to system call tracing, see the
.Sy PCSENTRY
and
.Sy PCSEXIT
sections of
.Xr proc 4 .
p
The value of the
.Fa stop
parameter controls whether or not the system call listed in
.Fa which
causes the process to stop. A value of non-zero indicates the process
should stop; a value of 0 indicates it should not.
p
The value of
.Fa which
indicates which system call the change applies to. A value of 0
applies to all system calls. Note, the system does not supply a stable
mapping from system call names to identifiers.
p
These functions only apply to actively running processes. They do not
function on handles that refer to core files, zombie processes, or ELF
objects.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the
.Fn Psetentry
and
.Fn Psetexit
functions return the previous disposition of the system call --
.Sy 0
if it was not set to stop and
.Sy 1
if it was --
and the system call state is updated. Otherwise,
.Sy -1
is returned,
.Dv errno
is updated with the error that occurred, and the system call state is
not updated.
.Sh ERRORS
The
.Fn Psysentry
and
.Fn Psysexit
functions will fail if:
l -tag -width Er t Er EINVAL The value of
.Fa which
is invalid, e.g. it is less than zero or greater than the largest defined
system call.
t Er ENOENT The handle
.Fa P
refers to a process that is a zombie, a core file, or an ELF object.
.El
.Sh INTERFACE STABILITY
.Sy Uncommitted
p
Note, while the
.Fn Psysentry
and
.Fn Psysexit
functions are uncommitted, the mapping of system calls to system call
numbers is
.Sy Not-an-Interface
and may change at any time.
