DCMD_PROC_GETGREG

Get the information stored in the CPU registers based on the current thread of the process associated with the file descriptor.

#include <sys/procfs.h>

#define DCMD_PROC_GETGREG  __DIOF(_DCMD_PROC, __PROC_SUBCMD_PROCFS + 10, procfs_greg)

The arguments to devctl() are:

Argument Value
filedes A file descriptor for the process.
dcmd DCMD_PROC_GETGREG
dev_data_ptr A pointer to a procfs_greg structure
n_bytes sizeof(procfs_greg)
dev_info_ptr NULL, or a pointer to an integer where the size of the data can be stored

The argument is a pointer to a procfs_greg structure (see debug_greg_t in <sys/debug.h>) that's filled in with the required information on return. If you provide a non-NULL extra argument, it's filled with the size of the data. For example:

procfs_greg my_greg;

devctl( fd, DCMD_PROC_GETGREG, my_greg, sizeof(procfs_greg), &size);

To set the CPU registers, use DCMD_PROC_SETGREG.
