29.Sh DESCRIPTION
30The
31.Fn pr_rename
32function injects the
33.Xr rename 2
34system call into the target process
35.Fa P
36by means of the agent LWP.
37If the process handle
38.Fa P
39is the value
40.Dv NULL
41then this will be equivalent to calling
42.Xr rename 2
43on the currently running process.
44.Pp
45The arguments
46.Fa old
47and
48.Fa new
49have the same meaning as in
50.Xr rename 2 .

53for the full description and purpose of the
54.Sy rename
55system call and its arguments.
56.Pp
57The
58.Fn pr_rename
59function only works on active processes. Process handles that correspond
60to core files, zombie processes, or ELF objects do not support system
61call injection.
62.Sh RETURN VALUES
63Upon successful completion, the
64.Fn pr_rename
65function's return value is that described in
66.Xr rename 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.
74.Sh ERRORS
75For the full list of errors see the
76.Sy ERRORS
77section in

81.Fn pr_rename
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
