DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The ldr_xattach() function is used to permit a process  to
       load,  unload, query, or  retrieve the contents of another
       process' address space.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

       This function currently works only for the current process
       or the  kernel.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       If the attach operation is a success, the function returns
       a code of 0  (zero).  If the attach  fails,  the  function
       returns  a  negative error value and errno is set to indicate
 the error.

ERRORS    [Toc]    [Back]

       If the ldr_xattach() function fails, errno may be  set  to
       the  following  value: The process identified is nonshared
       and does not  support  loader   operations.   The  process
       identifier is invalid.

       Additional  errors  are  possible  from the underlying IPC
       mechanism.
