39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40The
41.Fn proc_arg_psinfo
42and
43.Fn proc_arg_xpsinfo
44functions are utility functions which process an argument that may
45refer to a currently active process or core file and attempts to obtain the
46.Xr ps 1
47information from the process or core and fills it into
48.Fa psp .
49.Pp
50The string
51.Fa arg
52contains the name of something to try and open. How it is interpreted
53depends on the value of
54.Fa oflag .
55The following values may be passed in as a bitwise-exclusive-OR for
56.Fa oflag :
57.Bl -tag -width Dv -offset indent
58.It Dv PR_ARG_PIDS
59Allows
60.Fa arg
61to specify process IDs and /proc arguments.
62.It Dv PR_ARG_CORES
63Allows
64.Fa arg
65to specify core files.
66.It PR_ARG_ANY
67Encompasses all of the previous opens.
68.El
69.Pp
70The argument
71.Fa perr
72must be a
73.Pf non- Dv NULL
74pointer and in the event that the
75.Fn proc_arg_psinfo
76or
77.Fn proc_arg_xpsinfo
78functions fail, then
79.Fa perr
80will be updated with a more detailed error number.
81.Pp
82If the
83.Fa lwps
84argument is
85.Pf non- Dv NULL ,
86then if there is a thread specification present in
87.Fa arg ,
88it will be validated to see if it is a valid range and then a pointer to
89the start of the thread specification will be stored in
90.Fa lwps .
91For more information on determining process range validity, see
92.Xr proc_lwp_range_valid 3PROC
93for more information on valid and invalid tread specifications.
94.Sh RETURN VALUES
95Upon successful completion, the
96.Fn proc_arg_psinfo
97and
98.Fn proc_arg_xpsinfo
99functions return the process identifier and fill in
100.Fa psp
101with the ps information of the process. Otherwise,
102.Sy -1
103is returned and
104.Fa perr
105is filled in with the error's details.
106.Sh ERRORS
