36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Fn Plwp_getasrs
39and
40.Fn Plwp_setasrs
41functions get and set the ancillary thread-specific register set of the
42thread
43.Fa lwpid
44in the process handle
45.Fa P .
46.Pp
47The ancillary state registers are only present on 64-bit
48.Sy SPARCv9
49processes.
50They contain information that is specific to the platform and are not included
51in the information obtained through functions such as
52.Xr Plwp_getregs 3PROC ,
53.Xr Plwp_getfpregs 3PROC ,
54and
55.Xr Plwp_getxregs 3PROC .
56.Pp
57The
58.Fn Plwp_getasrs
59function reads the ancillary registers into
60.Fa asrs ,
61while the
62.Fn Plwp_setasrs
63sets the thread's ancillary registers to the values provided by
64.Fa asrs .
65.Pp
66Processes should be stopped prior to obtaining the register state of
67individual threads.
68Processes may be stopped with
69.Xr Pstop 3PROC .
70.Pp
71The
72.Sy asrset_t
73structure is described in
74.Xr proc 4 .
75.Pp
76One may not set the register values of a process that is not an active
77process, e.g. a process handle that refers to a file or a core file.
78.Sh RETURN VALUES
79Upon successful completion, the
80.Fn Plwp_getasrs
81and
82.Fn Plwp_setasrs
83functions return
84.Sy 0
85and get or set the register state.
86Otherwise,
87.Sy -1
88is returned and
89.Sy errno
90is set to indicate the error.
91.Sh ERRORS
92For a full list of possible errors see the
93.Sy DIAGNOSTICS
94section in
95.Xr proc 4 .
96.Pp
97The
98.Fn Plwp_getasrs
99and
100.Fn Plwp_setasrs
101function will fail if:
102.Bl -tag -width Er
103.It Er ENODATA
104The process handle
105.Fa P
106does not have any ancillary register state information.
107.It Er EBUSY
108The process handle
109.Fa P
110refers to a live process and it is not stopped.
111.It Er ENOENT
112The process handle
113.Fa P
114refers to a live process and there is no thread with id
115.Fa lwpid
116or it is not a 64-bit SPARCv9 process.
117.It Er EINVAL
118The process handle
119.Fa P
120refers to a core file and there is no thread with id
121.Fa lwpid .
