27.Sh DESCRIPTION
28The
29.Fn Pcontent
30function describes information available from the process handle
31.Fa P .
32.Pp
33Different types of process handles have different kinds of content
34available to them. For example, handles to active and running processes
35have more information available than various core files, as the core
36file retains a subset of information available in the running process.
37Handles that refer to ELF objects, obtained through
38.Xr Pgrab_file 3PROC ,
39will not have information such as a stack available. The content of
40core files is controlled by
41.Xr coreadm 1M .
42.Pp
43The symbols that may be returned are listed in the
44.Sy core_content_t
45heading in the
46.Sy TYPES
47section in
48.Xr libproc 3LIB .
49.Sh RETURN VALUES
50Upon successful completion, the
51.Fn Pcontent
52function returns the bitwise-inclusive-OR of content types. Otherwise,
53.Dv CC_CONTENT_INVALID
54is returned to indicate an error.
