32.Os
33.Sh NAME
34.Nm p_candebug
35.Nd determine debuggability of a process
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.In sys/param.h
38.In sys/proc.h
39.Ft int
40.Fn p_candebug "struct thread *td" "struct proc *p"
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42This function can be used to determine if a given process
43.Fa p
44is debuggable by the thread
45.Fa td .
46.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
47The following
48.Xr sysctl 8
49variables directly influence the behaviour of
50.Fn p_candebug :
51.Bl -tag -width indent
52.It Va kern.securelevel
53Debugging of the init process is not allowed if this variable is
54.Li 1
55or greater.
56.It Va security.bsd.unprivileged_proc_debug
57Must be set to a non-zero value to allow unprivileged processes
58access to the kernel's debug facilities.
59.El
60.Sh RETURN VALUES
61The
62.Fn p_candebug
63function
64returns
65.Li 0
66if the process denoted by
67.Fa p
68is debuggable by thread
69.Fa td ,
70or a non-zero error return value otherwise.
71.Sh ERRORS
72.Bl -tag -width Er
73.It Bq Er EACCESS
74The MAC subsystem denied debuggability.
