22 23 .In libproc.h

27 28 .Sh DESCRIPTION
28 29 The
29 30 .Fn Pctlfd
30 31 function returns a file descriptor to the underlying /proc file system
31 32 .Sy ctl
32 33 file for the process identified by the handle
33 34 .Fa P .
34 35 This may be used for injecting control operations manually;
35 36 however, many interfaces for using it are provided by
36 37 .Xr libproc 3LIB
37 38 itself.
38 39 .Pp
39 40 Only live processes have a control file descriptor.
40 41 Process handles that correspond to files and cores, created through
41 42 .Xr Pgrab_file 3PROC
42 43 and
43 44 .Xr Pgrab_core 3PROC ,
44 45 do not have a corresponding file descriptor.
45 46 .Pp
46 47 The file descriptor is invalidated when the process handle is released
47 48 through
48 49 .Xr Prelease 3PROC
49 50 or if control is lost and the handle is reopened.
50 51 .Sh RETURN VALUES
51 52 Upon successful completion, the
52 53 .Fn Pctlfd
53 54 function returns a valid file descriptor.
54 55 Otherwise, if none exists, then
55 56 .Sy -1
56 57 is returned.
