Set the alternate register set with the values provided for the process associated with the file descriptor.
#include <sys/procfs.h> #define DCMD_PROC_SETALTREG __DIOT(_DCMD_PROC, __PROC_SUBCMD_PROCFS + 22, procfs_fpreg)
The arguments to devctl() are:
Argument | Value |
---|---|
filedes | A file descriptor for the process. You must have opened the file descriptor for writing. |
dcmd | DCMD_PROC_SETALTREG |
dev_data_ptr | A pointer to a procfs_fpreg structure |
n_bytes | sizeof(procfs_fpreg) |
dev_info_ptr | NULL |
The argument is a pointer to a procfs_fpreg structure (see debug_fpreg_t in <sys/debug.h>) that specifies to set the values of the alternate register set. For example:
procfs_fpreg reg; /* Set the members of reg as required. */ devctl( fd, DCMD_PROC_SETALTREG, ®, sizeof(reg), NULL);
To get the alternate register set, use DCMD_PROC_GETALTREG.
