29.Sh DESCRIPTION
30The
31.Fn pr_getitimer
32function injects the
33.Xr getitimer 2
34system call into the target process
35.Fa P
36by means of the agent LWP.
37If the process handle
38.Fa P
39is
40.Dv NULL
41then this will be equivalent to calling
42.Xr getitimer 2
43on the currently running process.
44.Pp
45The arguments
46.Fa which

54.Sy getitimer
55system call and its arguments.
56.Pp
57The
58.Fn pr_getitimer
59function only works on active processes.
60Process handles that correspond to core files, zombie processes, or ELF objects
61do not support system call injection.
62.Sh RETURN VALUES
63Upon successful completion, the
64.Fn pr_getitimer
65function's return value is that described in
66.Xr getitimer 2 .
67Otherwise,
68.Sy -1
69is returned and
70.Sy errno
71is set to
72.Er ENOSYS
73to indicate that the system call could not be injected.

81.Fn pr_getitimer
82function will fail if:
83.Bl -tag -width Er
84.It Er ENOSYS
85An error occurred while trying to invoke the agent LWP and inject a
86system call in the process handle
