PRESET_MAPS(3PROC) Process Control Library Functions PRESET_MAPS(3PROC)

Preset_maps
reset memory mapping data after exec

Process Control Library (libproc, -lproc)

#include <libproc.h>
void
Preset_maps(struct ps_prochandle *P);

The Preset_maps() function resets all of the mapping data, cached symbol tables, debug information, CTF, and more in the process handle P. The map information will rebuild itself on the execution of another libproc(3LIB) function that requires the information. This function should be called any time after a process handle performs an exec(2). As such, this interface is only relevant to the manipulation of live processes and not core files or ELF files. For more information, see the PROGRAMMING NOTES section in libproc(3LIB).
