   3 NAME
   4      Pupdate_maps - update address space mappings
   5 
   6 SYNOPSIS
   7      Process Control Library (libproc, -lproc)


   8      #include <libproc.h>
   9 
  10      void
  11      Pupdate_maps(struct ps_prochandle *P);
  12 
  13 DESCRIPTION
  14      The Pupdate_maps() function is used to verify that all of the cached
  15      mappings in the process P are still valid and update the cached data with
  16      any new information.  This is generally called in response to activity by
  17      the run-time link-editor.  In general, the libproc library takes care of
  18      managing the need to call this function; however, debuggers,
  19      introspection tools, and others that are interposing on rtld activity or
  20      other actions, may need to call this function.  Note that the
  21      Pupdate_maps() function is only meaningful for active processes.  It will
  22      do nothing on process handles that refer to core files, zombie processes,
  23      and ELF objects.
