Module nix::sys::ptrace

Provides helpers for making ptrace system calls

Modules

• regset
  Register sets used in getregset and setregset

Structs

• Options
  Ptrace options used in conjunction with the PTRACE_SETOPTIONS request. See man ptrace for more details.

Enums

• Event
  Using the ptrace options the tracer can configure the tracee to stop at certain events. This enum is used to define those events as defined in man ptrace.
• RegisterSetValue
  Defines a specific register set, as used in PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET.
• Request
  Ptrace Request enum defining the action to be taken.

Traits

• RegisterSet
  Represents register set areas, such as general-purpose registers or floating-point registers.

Functions

• attach
  Attach to a running process, as with ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, ...)
• cont
  Restart the stopped tracee process, as with ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, ...)
• detach
  Detaches the current running process, as with ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, ...)
• getevent
  Gets a ptrace event as described by ptrace(PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG, ...)
• getregs
  Get user registers, as with ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGS, ...)
• getregset
  Get a particular set of user registers, as with ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGSET, ...)
• getsiginfo
  Get siginfo as with ptrace(PTRACE_GETSIGINFO, ...)
• interrupt
  Stop a tracee, as with ptrace(PTRACE_INTERRUPT, ...)
• kill
  Issues a kill request as with ptrace(PTRACE_KILL, ...)
• read
  Reads a word from a processes memory at the given address, as with ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKDATA, …)
• read_user
  Reads a word from a user area at offset, as with ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKUSER, …). The user struct definition can be found in /usr/include/sys/user.h.
• seize
  Attach to a running process, as with ptrace(PTRACE_SEIZE, ...)
• setoptions
  Set options, as with ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, ...).
• setregs
  Set user registers, as with ptrace(PTRACE_SETREGS, ...)
• setregset
  Set a particular set of user registers, as with ptrace(PTRACE_SETREGSET, ...)
• setsiginfo
  Set siginfo as with ptrace(PTRACE_SETSIGINFO, ...)
• step
  Move the stopped tracee process forward by a single step as with ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, ...)
• syscall
  Continue execution until the next syscall, as with ptrace(PTRACE_SYSCALL, ...)
• sysemu
  Continue execution until the next syscall, as with ptrace(PTRACE_SYSEMU, ...)
• sysemu_step
  Move the stopped tracee process forward by a single step or stop at the next syscall as with ptrace(PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP, ...)
• traceme
  Sets the process as traceable, as with ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, ...)
• write
  Writes a word into the processes memory at the given address, as with ptrace(PTRACE_POKEDATA, …)
• write_user
  Writes a word to a user area at offset, as with ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, …). The user struct definition can be found in /usr/include/sys/user.h.
