zx_thread_write_state

NAME

thread_write_state - Write one aspect of thread state.

SYNOPSIS

#include <zircon/syscalls.h>
#include <zircon/syscalls/debug.h>

zx_status_t zx_thread_write_state(
    zx_handle_t handle,
    uint32_t kind,
    const void* buffer,
    size_t len);

DESCRIPTION

thread_write_state() writes one aspect of state of the thread. The thread state may only be written when the thread is halted for an exception or the thread is suspended.

The thread state is highly processor specific. See the structures in zircon/syscalls/debug.h for the contents of the structures on each platform.

STATES

See thread_read_state for the list of available states and their corresponding values.

RETURN VALUE

thread_write_state() returns ZX_OK on success. In the event of failure, a negative error value is returned.

ERRORS

ZX_ERR_BAD_HANDLE handle is not a valid handle.

ZX_ERR_WRONG_TYPE handle is not that of a thread.

ZX_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED handle lacks ZX_RIGHT_WRITE.

ZX_ERR_INVALID_ARGS kind is not valid, buffer is an invalid pointer, or len doesn't match the size of the structure expected for kind.

ZX_ERR_NO_MEMORY Temporary out of memory failure.

ZX_ERR_BAD_STATE The thread is not stopped at a point where state is available. The thread state may only be read when the thread is stopped due to an exception.

ZX_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED kind is not supported. This can happen, for example, when trying to read a register set that is not supported by the hardware the program is currently running on.
