   3 NAME
   4      Pgrab - grab and control a process
   5 
   6 SYNOPSIS
   7      Process Control Library (libproc, -lproc)


   8      #include <libproc.h>
   9 
  10      struct ps_prochandle *
  11      Pgrab(pid_t pid, int flags, int *perr);
  12 
  13 DESCRIPTION
  14      The Pgrab() function attempts to grab the process identified by pid and
  15      returns a handle to it that allows the process to be controlled,
  16      interrogated, and manipulated.  This interface only works with processes
  17      that already exist.  Use Pgrab_core(3PROC) for core files and
  18      Pcreate(3PROC) to create processes.
  19 
  20      A grabbed process undergoes the following changes unless flags is set to
  21      the contrary:
  22 
  23            o   The process is stopped
  24 
  25            o   All other tracing flags are cleared
  26 
  27            o   The grab is exclusive.  If any existing handles to this process
