15.Dt PDELBKPT 3PROC
16.Os
17.Sh NAME
18.Nm Pdelbkpt
19.Nd clear a breakpoint in a process
20.Sh SYNOPSIS
21.Lb libproc
22.In libproc.h
23.Ft int
24.Fo Pdelbkpt
25.Fa "struct ps_prochandle *P"
26.Fa "uintptr_t address"
27.Fa "ulong_t saved"
28.Fc
29.Sh DESCRIPTION
30The
31.Fn Pdelbkpt
32function removes the breakpoint installed at
33.Fa address
34from process
35.Fa P .
36Restoring the instruction present in
37.Fa saved .
38.Pp
39If the instruction at
40.Fa address
41is no longer the architecture-specific breakpoint instruction, then
42.Fa saved
43is not restored, but the function still returns successfully.
44This behavior is done due to the presence of setting breakpoints in
45self-modifying code, e.g. procedure linkage tables.
46.Pp
47The
48.Fn Pdelbkpt
49function only works on running processes, such as those created through
50.Xr Pgrab 3PROC
51and
52.Xr Pcreate 3PROC .
53Attempting to remove a breakpoint from process handles to core files,
54zombie processes, or ELF objects will fail.
55.Sh RETURN VALUES
56Upon successful completion, the
57.Fn Pdelbkpt
58function removes the breakpoint and
59returns
60.Sy 0 .
61Otherwise,
62.Sy -1
63is returned, and
64.Sy errno
65is set to indicate the error.
66.Sh ERRORS
67For a full list of possible errors see the
68.Sy DIAGNOSTICS
69section in
70.Xr proc 4 .
71.Pp
72The
73.Fn Pdelbkpt
74function will fail with:
75.Bl -tag -width Er
76.It Er ENOENT
77The handle
78.Fa P
79refers to a grabbed core file, a zombie process, or an ELF object.
