Pupdate_maps —
update address space mappings
Process Control Library (libproc, -lproc)
#include
<libproc.h>
void
Pupdate_maps(
struct
ps_prochandle *P);
The
Pupdate_maps() function is used to verify
that all of the cached mappings in the process
P are still valid and update the cached data
with any new information. This is generally called in response to activity by
the run-time link-editor. In general, the
libproc
library takes care of managing the need to call this function; however,
debuggers, introspection tools, and others that are interposing on rtld
activity or other actions, may need to call this function. Note that the
Pupdate_maps() function is only meaningful
for active processes. It will do nothing on process handles that refer to core
files, zombie processes, and ELF objects.
