16.Os
17.Sh NAME
18.Nm pr_getpeerucred
19.Nd inject getpeerucred library call into victim process
20.Sh SYNOPSIS
21.Lb libproc

29.Sh DESCRIPTION
30The
31.Fn pr_getpeerucred
32function injects the
33.Xr getpeerucred 3C
34library 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 is equivalent to calling
42.Xr getpeerucred 3C
43on the currently running process.
44.Pp
45The arguments
46.Fa fd
47and
48.Fa *ucp
49have the same meaning as in
50.Xr getpeerucred 3C .

52.Xr getpeerucred 3C
53for the full description and purpose of the
54.Sy getpeerucred
55library call and its arguments.
56.Pp
57The
58.Fn pr_getpeerucred
59function only works on active processes.
60Process handles that correspond to core files, zombie processes, or ELF objects
61do not support library call injection.
62.Sh RETURN VALUES
63Upon successful completion, the
64.Fn pr_getpeerucred
65function's return value is that described in
66.Xr getpeerucred 3C .
67Otherwise,
68.Sy -1
69is returned and
70.Sy errno
71is set to
72.Er ENOSYS
73to indicate that the library call could not be injected.
74.Sh ERRORS
75For a full list of possible errors see the
76.Sy ERRORS
77section in
78.Xr getpeerucred 3C .

80The
81.Fn pr_getpeerucred
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
86library call in the process handle
87.Fa P
88or the process handle
