16.Os
17.Sh NAME
18.Nm Pdelbkpt
19.Nd clear a breakpoint in a process
20.Sh LIBRARY
21.Lb libproc
22.Sh SYNOPSIS
23.In libproc.h
24.Ft int
25.Fo Pdelbkpt
26.Fa "struct ps_prochandle *P"
27.Fa "uintptr_t address"
28.Fa "ulong_t saved"
29.Fc
30.Sh DESCRIPTION
31The
32.Fn Pdelbkpt
33function removes the breakpoint installed at
34.Fa address
35from process
36.Fa P .
37Restoring the instruction present in
38.Fa saved .
39.Pp
40If the instruction at
41.Fa address
42is no longer the architecture-specific breakpoint instruction, then
43.Fa saved
44is not restored, but the function still returns successfully.
45This behavior is done due to the presence of setting breakpoints in
46self-modifying code, e.g. procedure linkage tables.
47.Pp
48The
49.Fn Pdelbkpt
50function only works on running processes, such as those created through
51.Xr Pgrab 3PROC
52and
53.Xr Pcreate 3PROC .
54Attempting to remove a breakpoint from process handles to core files,
55zombie processes, or ELF objects will fail.
56.Sh RETURN VALUES
57Upon successful completion, the
58.Fn Pdelbkpt
59function removes the breakpoint and
60returns
61.Sy 0 .
62Otherwise,
63.Sy -1
64is returned, and
65.Sy errno
66is set to indicate the error.
67.Sh ERRORS
68For a full list of possible errors see the
69.Sy DIAGNOSTICS
70section in
71.Xr proc 4 .
72.Pp
73The
74.Fn Pdelbkpt
75function will fail with:
76.Bl -tag -width Er
77.It Er ENOENT
78The handle
79.Fa P
80refers to a grabbed core file, a zombie process, or an ELF object.
