|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn i386_clr_watch
|
|
|
|
|
will disable the indicated watch point within the specified debug
|
|
|
|
|
register set.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn i386_set_watch
|
|
|
|
|
will set up the specified debug registers as indicated by the
|
|
|
|
|
parameters. The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa watchnum
|
|
|
|
|
argument specifies which watch register is used, 0, 1, 2, 3, or -1. If
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa watchnum
|
|
|
|
|
is -1, a free watch register is found and used. If there are no free
|
2001-07-15 07:53:42 +00:00
|
|
|
watch registers, an error code of -1 is returned.
|
2000-09-21 17:07:27 +00:00
|
|
|
.Fa Watchaddr
|
2001-07-15 07:53:42 +00:00
|
|
|
specifies the watch address,
|
2000-09-21 17:07:27 +00:00
|
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
|
|
|
specifies the size in bytes of the area to be watched (1, 2, or 4 bytes),
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa access
|
|
|
|
|
specifes the type of watch point:
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
|
|
|
|
|
DBREG_DR7_EXEC An execution breakpoint.
|
|
|
|
|
DBREG_DR7_WRONLY Break only when the watch area is written to.
|
|
|
|
|
DBREG_DR7_RDWR Break when the watch area is read from or written
|
|
|
|
|
to.
|
|
|

.Ed
|
|

|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
Note that these functions do not actually set or clear breakpoints;
|
|
|
|
|
they manipulate the indicated debug register set. You must use
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr ptrace 2
|
|
|
|
|
to retrieve and install the debug register values for a process.
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn i386_clr_watch
|
|
|
|
|
returns 0 on success, or -1 if
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa watchnum
|
|
|
|
|
is invalid (not in the range of 0-3).
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn i386_set_watch
|
|
|
|
|
will return the
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa watchnum
|
|
|
|
|
argument, or the watchnum actually used in the case that
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa watchnum
|
|
|
|
|
is -1 on success. On error,
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn i386_set_watch
|
|
|
|
|
will return -1 indicating that the watchpoint could not be set up
|
|
|
|
|
because either no more watchpoints are available, or
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa watchnum ,
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa size ,
|
|
|
|
|
or
|
