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