Provides helpers for making ptrace system calls

Structs§

  • Options
    Ptrace options used in conjunction with the PTRACE_SETOPTIONS request. See man ptrace for more details.

Enums§

  • Event
    Using the ptrace options the tracer can configure the tracee to stop at certain events. This enum is used to define those events as defined in man ptrace.
  • Request
    Ptrace Request enum defining the action to be taken.

Functions§

  • attach
    Attach to a running process, as with ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, ...)
  • cont
    Restart the stopped tracee process, as with ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, ...)
  • detach
    Detaches the current running process, as with ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, ...)
  • getevent
    Gets a ptrace event as described by ptrace(PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG,...)
  • getregs
    Get user registers, as with ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGS, ...)
  • getsiginfo
    Get siginfo as with ptrace(PTRACE_GETSIGINFO,...)
  • interrupt
    Stop a tracee, as with ptrace(PTRACE_INTERRUPT, ...)
  • kill
    Issues a kill request as with ptrace(PTRACE_KILL, ...)
  • read
    Reads a word from a processes memory at the given address
  • read_user
    Reads a word from a user area at offset. The user struct definition can be found in /usr/include/sys/user.h.
  • seize
    Attach to a running process, as with ptrace(PTRACE_SEIZE, ...)
  • setoptions
    Set options, as with ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS,...).
  • setregs
    Set user registers, as with ptrace(PTRACE_SETREGS, ...)
  • setsiginfo
    Set siginfo as with ptrace(PTRACE_SETSIGINFO,...)
  • step
    Move the stopped tracee process forward by a single step as with ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, ...)
  • syscall
    Continue execution until the next syscall, as with ptrace(PTRACE_SYSCALL, ...)
  • sysemu
    Continue execution until the next syscall, as with ptrace(PTRACE_SYSEMU, ...)
  • sysemu_step
    Move the stopped tracee process forward by a single step or stop at the next syscall as with ptrace(PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP, ...)
  • traceme
    Sets the process as traceable, as with ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, ...)
  • write⚠
    Writes a word into the processes memory at the given address
  • write_user⚠
    Writes a word to a user area at offset. The user struct definition can be found in /usr/include/sys/user.h.
