20 .Sh SYNOPSIS
21 .Lb libproc
22 .In libproc.h
23 .Ft int
24 .Fo Plwp_getspymaster

29 .Sh DESCRIPTION
30 The
31 .Fn Plwp_getspymaster
32 function returns information about the spy master that corresponds to
33 the agent LWP for the thread
34 .Fa lwpid
35 in the process handle
36 .Fa P .
37 .Pp
38 The agent LWP allows another process to inject actions into the target process.
39 When an agent LWP is created, it leverages an existing thread in the process and
40 it also creates a record of whom created the agent, which is called the spy
41 master.
42 For more information on the agent LWP and the spy master, see
43 .Xr proc 4 .
44 .Pp
45 If the thread identified
46 .Fa lwpid
47 has an agent LWP, the corresponding ps information
48 .Po see
49 .Xr proc 4
50 for the definition of the
51 .Sy psinfo_t
52 .Pc
53 will be filled into
54 .Fa ps .
55 .Pp
56 Note, process handles that correspond to a file, created by
57 .Xr Pgrab_file 3PROC ,
58 cannot have an agent LWP created for them and thus cannot have any spy
59 master information.
60 In addition, core files from older releases may not have any data on the spy
61 master.
62 .Sh RETURN VALUES
63 Upon successful completion, the
64 .Fn Plwp_getspymaster
65 returns
66 .Sy 0
67 and updates
68 .Fa ps .
69 Otherwise, it returns
70 .Sy -1 ,
71 sets
72 .Sy errno ,
73 and
74 .Fa ps
75 is not modified.
