DESCRIPTION
This family of functions allows a controlling process (the process that
invokes them) to create or capture controlled processes. The functions
allow the occurrence of various events of interest in the controlled
process to cause the controlled process to be stopped, and to cause
callback routines to be invoked in the controlling process.
pctx_create() and pctx_capture()
There are two ways a process can be acquired by the process context
functions. First, a named application can be invoked with the usual
argv[] array using pctx_create(), which forks the caller and execs the
application in the child. Alternatively, an existing process can be
captured by its process ID using pctx_capture().
Both functions accept a pointer to an opaque handle, arg; this is saved
and treated as a caller-private handle that is passed to the other
functions in the library. Both functions accept a pointer to a
printf(3C)-like error routine errfn; a default version is provided if
NULL is specified.
A freshly-created process is created stopped; similarly, a process that
has been successfully captured is stopped by the act of capturing it,
thereby allowing the caller to specify the handlers that should be
called when various events occur in the controlled process. The set of
handlers is listed on the pctx_set_events(3CPC) manual page.
pctx_run()
Once the callback handlers have been set with pctx_set_events(), the
application can be set running using pctx_run(). This function starts
the event handling loop; it returns only when either the process has
exited, the number of time samples has expired, or an error has oc‐
curred (for example, if the controlling process is not privileged, and
the controlled process has exec-ed a setuid program).
Every sample milliseconds the process is stopped and the tick() routine
is called so that, for example, the performance counters can be sampled
by the caller. No periodic sampling is performed if sample is 0.
pctx_release()
Once pctx_run() has returned, the process can be released and the un‐
derlying storage freed using pctx_release(). Releasing the process will
either allow the controlled process to continue (in the case of an ex‐
isting captured process and its children) or kill the process (if it
and its children were created using pctx_create()).
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, pctx_capture() and pctx_create() return a
valid handle. Otherwise, the functions print a diagnostic message and
return NULL.
Upon successful completion, pctx_run() returns 0 with the controlled
process either stopped or exited (if the controlled process has invoked
exit(2).) If an error has occurred (for example, if the controlled
process has exec-ed a set-ID executable, if certain callbacks have re‐
turned error indications, or if the process was unable to respond to
proc(5) requests) an error message is printed and the function returns
−1.
USAGE
Within an event handler in the controlling process, the controlled
process can be made to perform various system calls on its behalf. No
system calls are directly supported in this version of the API, though
system calls are executed by the cpc_pctx family of interfaces in
libcpc. A specially created agent LWP is used to execute these system
calls in the controlled process. See proc(5) for more details.
While executing the event handler functions, the library arranges for
the signals SIGTERM, SIGQUIT, SIGABRT, and SIGINT to be blocked to re‐
duce the likelihood of a keyboard signal killing the controlling
process prematurely, thereby leaving the controlled process permanently
stopped while the agent LWP is still alive inside the controlled
process.
