76.Sh DESCRIPTION
77The
78.Fn Plwp_getregs ,
79.Fn Plwp_setregs ,
80.Fn Plwp_getfpregs ,
81and
82.Fn Plwp_setfpregs
83functions allow one to get and set the general purpose and floating
84point registers from the thread
85.Fa lwpid
86in the process handle
87.Fa P .
88.Pp
89The
90.Fn Plwp_getfpregs
91function updates the structure pointed to by
92.Fa fpregs
93with the state and values of the floating point registers of the thread
94specified by
95.Fa lwpid .
96.Pp
97The
98.Fn Plwp_setfpregs
99function updates the floating point registers of the thread specified by
100.Fa lwpid
101to the register state contained in
102.Fa fpregs .
103.Pp
104The
105.Fn Plwp_getregs
106function updates the structure pointed to by
107.Fa gregs
108with the state and values of the general purpose registers of the thread
109specified by
110.Fa lwpid.
111.Pp
112The
113.Fn Plwp_setregs
114function updates the general purpose registers of the thread specified
115by
116.Fa lwpid
117to the register state contained in
118.Fa gregs .
119.Pp
120Processes must be stopped before obtaining the register state of
121individual threads.
122Processes may be stopped with
123.Xr Pstop 3PROC .
124The structures used for registers are described in
125.Xr proc 5
126and their definitions may be found in
127.In procfs.h .
128The definitions of these structures varies based on the architecture of
129the system and the running process.
130.Pp
131One may not set the register values of a process that is not an active
132process, e.g. a process handle that refers to a file or a core file.
133.Pp
134The
135.Fn Lgetfpregs ,
136.Fn Lsetfpregs ,
137.Fn Lgetregs ,
138and
139.Fn Lsetregs
140functions behave in a same way as the corresponding process-handle
141specific functions, with the following differences:
142.Bl -dash
143.It
144Rather than take a specified thread id via
145.Fa lwpid ,
146they operate on the thread that the thread-handle,
147.Fa L ,
148refers to.
149.It
150The process-handle functions will require that the entire process is
151stopped before performing a set operation.
152In these cases, only the specific thread identified by the handle
153.Fa L
154must be stopped through a call to
155.Xr Lstop 3PROC
156or similar.
157Note, a suspended thread
158.Po
159.Xr thr_suspend 3C
160.Pc
161is not considered stopped for these purposes.
162.El
163.Sh RETURN VALUES
164Upon successful completion, the
165.Fn Plwp_getregs ,
166.Fn Plwp_setregs ,
167.Fn Plwp_getfpregs ,
168.Fn Plwp_setfpregs ,
169.Fn Lgetfpregs ,
170.Fn Lsetfpregs ,
171.Fn Lgetregs ,
172and
173.Fn Lsetregs
174functions return
175.Sy 0
176and obtain or set the register state.
177Otherwise,
178.Sy -1
179is returned,
180.Va errno
181is set to indicate the error, and the register state is not updated nor
182are the data pointers changed.
183.Sh ERRORS
184The implementations of these functions may use standard system and
185library calls that can fail.
186For a full list of possible errors also see the
187.Sy DIAGNOSTICS
188section in
189.Xr proc 5 .

195and
196.Fn Plwp_setfpregs
197will fail if:
198.Bl -tag -width Er
199.It Er EBUSY
200The process handle
201.Fa P
202is not currently stopped.
203.It Er ENOENT
204There is no thread in
205.Fa P
206with id
