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.
35For example, handles to active and running processes have more information
36available than various core files, as the core file retains a subset of
37information available in the running process.
38Handles that refer to ELF objects, obtained through
39.Xr Pgrab_file 3PROC ,
40will not have information such as a stack available.
41The content of core files is controlled by
42.Xr coreadm 1M .
43.Pp
44The symbols that may be returned are listed in the
45.Sy core_content_t
46heading in the
47.Sy TYPES
48section in
49.Xr libproc 3LIB .
50.Sh RETURN VALUES
51Upon successful completion, the
52.Fn Pcontent
53function returns the bitwise-inclusive-OR of content types.
54Otherwise,
55.Dv CC_CONTENT_INVALID
56is returned to indicate an error.
