32.Sh DESCRIPTION
33The
34.Fn proc_lwp_in_set
35and
36.Fn proc_lwp_range_valid
37functions provide means for testing the validity of thread ranges and
38whether a thread is in a range.
39.Pp
40A thread range is a series of one or more series of range identifiers
41which describe a collection of threads. These are often used by programs
42such as
43.Xr pbind 1M ,
44.Xr pstack 1 ,
45.Xr prun 1 ,
46.Xr pstop 1 ,
47and others as a means for a user to specify a selection of threads from
48inside of a process.
49.Pp
50More formally, the thread range may be described as:
51.Bd -literal -offset indent
52lwp_range[,lwp_range]*
53.Ed
54.Pp
55An LWP range may be specified as one of the following four strings. The
56following table shows the string formats and the corresponding set of
57valid threads that match it:
58.Bl -column -offset indent ".Sy n-m" "n <= lwpid <= m"
59.It Sy -n Ta lwpid <= n
60.It Sy n-m Ta n <= lwpid <= m
61.It Sy n- Ta lwpid >= n
62.It Sy n Ta lwpid == n
63.El
64.Pp
65For example, the thread range
66.Sy -2,4-5,7,8-
67matches thread with IDs 0-2, 4-5, 7, and any thread id 8 or greater.
68.Pp
69The
70.Fn proc_lwp_range_valid
71function determines whether or not the character string
72.Fa set
73is a valid thread range based on the rules above. Note, the empty
74string, the
75.Dv NULL
76pointer, or otherwise are not valid.
77.Pp
78The
79.Fn proc_lwp_in_set
80function determines whether the thread identifier
81.Fa lwpid
82is contained in the set described by
83.Fa set .
84If
85.Fa set
86is the
87.Dv NULL
88pointer, then every thread matches the set.
89.Sh RETURN VALUES
90Upon successful completion, the
91.Fa proc_lwp_in_set
92function returns
93.Sy 1
94to indicate
95.Fa lwpid
96is in
97.Fa set .
98Otherwise,
99.Sy 0
100is returned to indicate that
101.Fa lwpid
102is not in
103.Fa set .
104.Pp
105Upon successful completion, the
106.Fa proc_lwp_range_valid
107function returns
108.Sy 0
109to indicate
110.Fa set
111is valid. Otherwise,
112.Sy -1
113is returned to indicate that the set is invalid.
