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

NAME

Preset_maps - reset memory mapping data after exec

LIBRARY

Process Control Library (libproc, -lproc)

SYNOPSIS

#include <libproc.h>

void
Preset_maps(struct ps_prochandle *P);

DESCRIPTION

The Preset_maps() function resets all of the mapping data, cached
symbol tables, debug information, CTF, and more in the process handle
P. The map information will rebuild itself on the execution of another
libproc(3LIB) function that requires the information. This function
should be called any time after a process handle performs an exec(2).
As such, this interface is only relevant to the manipulation of live
processes and not core files or ELF files. For more information, see
the PROGRAMMING NOTES section in libproc(3LIB).

INTERFACE STABILITY

Uncommitted

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