PCONTENT(3PROC) Process Control Library Functions PCONTENT(3PROC)

NAME

Pcontent - obtain process content types available

LIBRARY

Process Control Library (libproc, -lproc)

SYNOPSIS

#include <libproc.h>

core_content_t
Pcontent(struct ps_prochandle *P);

DESCRIPTION

The Pcontent() function describes information available from the
process handle P.

Different types of process handles have different kinds of content
available to them. For example, handles to active and running
processes have more information available than various core files, as
the core file retains a subset of information available in the running
process. Handles that refer to ELF objects, obtained through
Pgrab_file(3PROC), will not have information such as a stack available.
The content of core files is controlled by coreadm(8).

The symbols that may be returned are listed in the core_content_t
heading in the TYPES section in libproc(3LIB).

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, the Pcontent() function returns the
bitwise-inclusive-OR of content types. Otherwise, CC_CONTENT_INVALID
is returned to indicate an error.

INTERFACE STABILITY

Uncommitted

MT-LEVEL
See LOCKING in libproc(3LIB).
