.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm librtld_db
|
|
library provides a debugging interface to the run-time linker (rtld).
|
|
This library must be used along with
|
|
.Xr libproc 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Most library functions take a
|
|
.Ft rd_agent_t
|
|
argument.
|
|
This argument is an opaque structure containing information associated with
|
|
the current status of the agent.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Before you start using
|
|
.Nm
|
|
you should call
|
|
.Fn rd_init
|
|
with the
|
|
.Ft RD_VERSION
|
|
argument.
|
|
This initializes the library to the correct version your program was compiled
|
|
with and provides proper ABI stability.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
What follows is a description of what each function.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn rd_new
|
|
creates a new
|
|
.Nm
|
|
agent.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ft php
|
|
argument should be the
|
|
.Ft proc_handle
|
|
you received from
|
|
.Xr libproc 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn rd_reset
|
|
resets your previously created agent.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn rd_delete
|
|
deallocates the resources associated with the agent.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn rd_errstr
|
|
returns an error string describing the error present in
|
|
.Ft rderr .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn rd_event_enable
|
|
enables reporting of events.
|
|
This function always returns RD_OK.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn rd_event_addr
|
|
returns the event address corresponding to the
|
|
.Ft event
|
|
parameter.
|
|
At the moment we only report events of type RD_NOTIFY_BPT.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn rd_event_getmsg
|
|
returns the message associated with the latest event.
|
|
At the moment only RD_POSTINIT events are supported.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn rd_loadobj_iter
|
|
allows you to iterate over the program's loaded objects.
|
|
.Ft cb
|
|
is a callback of type
|
|
.Fn rl_iter_f .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Most functions return an
|
|
.Ft rd_err_e
|
|
type error.
|
|
The error codes are described in the header file for this library.
|
|
You can get the error string using
|
|
.Fn rd_errstr .

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm librtld_db

library first appeared in
|
|
.Fx 9.0
|
|
and was modeled after the same library present in the Solaris operating system.

|
.Sh AUTHORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm librtld_db
|
