Pplatform —
get platform string
Process Control Library (libproc, -lproc)
#include
<libproc.h>
char *
Pplatform(
struct
ps_prochandle *P,
char *buffer,
size_t bufsize);
The
Pplatform() function determines the name
of the platform for the process handle
P. Up
to
bufsize characters, including the null
terminator, will be copied into
buffer.
The platform is the value reported by the
-s option
to
uname(1). For example, on x86 systems, the
value will be
i86pc.
Note, process handles that correspond to a file, created by
Pgrab_file(3PROC), will not report a platform and
the
Pplatform() function will fail.
Upon successful completion, the
Pplatform()
function returns
buffer. Otherwise,
NULL is returned,
errno is set, and
buffer is not updated.
The
Pplatform() function will fail if:
-
-
ENODATA- P refers to a core file and there is no
NT_PLATFORM ELF note available.
-
-
EFAULT- P refers to a live process and
buffer is an invalid address.
