9 9 .SH NAME
10 10 proc \- /proc, the process file system
11 11 .SH DESCRIPTION
12 12 .LP
13 13 \fB/proc\fR is a file system that provides access to the state of each process
14 14 and light-weight process (lwp) in the system. The name of each entry in the
15 15 \fB/proc\fR directory is a decimal number corresponding to a process-ID. These
16 16 entries are themselves subdirectories. Access to process state is provided by
17 17 additional files contained within each subdirectory; the hierarchy is described
18 18 more completely below. In this document, ``\fB/proc\fR file'' refers to a
19 19 non-directory file within the hierarchy rooted at \fB/proc\fR. The owner of
20 20 each \fB/proc\fR file and subdirectory is determined by the user-ID of the
21 21 process.
22 22 .sp
23 23 .LP
24 24 \fB/proc\fR can be mounted on any mount point, in addition to the standard
25 25 \fB/proc\fR mount point, and can be mounted several places at once. Such
26 26 additional mounts are allowed in order to facilitate the confinement of
27 27 processes to subtrees of the file system via \fBchroot\fR(1M) and yet allow
28 28 such processes access to commands like \fBps\fR(1).
29 29 .sp
30 30 .LP
31 31 Standard system calls are used to access \fB/proc\fR files: \fBopen\fR(2),
32 32 \fBclose\fR(2), \fBread\fR(2), and \fBwrite\fR(2) (including \fBreadv\fR(2),
33 33 \fBwritev\fR(2), \fBpread\fR(2), and \fBpwrite\fR(2)). Most files describe
34 34 process state and can only be opened for reading. \fBctl\fR and \fBlwpctl\fR
35 35 (control) files permit manipulation of process state and can only be opened for
36 36 writing. \fBas\fR (address space) files contain the image of the running
37 37 process and can be opened for both reading and writing. An open for writing
38 38 allows process control; a read-only open allows inspection but not control. In
39 39 this document, we refer to the process as open for reading or writing if any of
40 40 its associated \fB/proc\fR files is open for reading or writing.
41 41 .sp
42 42 .LP
43 43 In general, more than one process can open the same \fB/proc\fR file at the
44 44 same time. \fIExclusive\fR \fIopen\fR is an advisory mechanism provided to
45 45 allow controlling processes to avoid collisions with each other. A process can
46 46 obtain exclusive control of a target process, with respect to other cooperating
47 47 processes, if it successfully opens any \fB/proc\fR file in the target process
48 48 for writing (the \fBas\fR or \fBctl\fR files, or the \fBlwpctl\fR file of any
49 49 lwp) while specifying \fBO_EXCL\fR in the \fBopen\fR(2). Such an open will fail
50 50 if the target process is already open for writing (that is, if an \fBas\fR,
51 51 \fBctl\fR, or \fBlwpctl\fR file is already open for writing). There can be any
52 52 number of concurrent read-only opens; \fBO_EXCL\fR is ignored on opens for
53 53 reading. It is recommended that the first open for writing by a controlling
54 54 process use the \fBO_EXCL\fR flag; multiple controlling processes usually
55 55 result in chaos.
56 56 .sp
57 57 .LP
58 58 If a process opens one of its own \fB/proc\fR files for writing, the open
59 59 succeeds regardless of \fBO_EXCL\fR and regardless of whether some other
60 60 process has the process open for writing. Self-opens do not count when another
61 61 process attempts an exclusive open. (A process cannot exclude a debugger by
62 62 opening itself for writing and the application of a debugger cannot prevent a
63 63 process from opening itself.) All self-opens for writing are forced to be
64 64 close-on-exec (see the \fBF_SETFD\fR operation of \fBfcntl\fR(2)).
65 65 .sp
66 66 .LP
67 67 Data may be transferred from or to any locations in the address space of the
68 68 traced process by applying \fBlseek\fR(2) to position the \fBas\fR file at the
69 69 virtual address of interest followed by \fBread\fR(2) or \fBwrite\fR(2) (or by
70 70 using \fBpread\fR(2) or \fBpwrite\fR(2) for the combined operation). The
71 71 address-map files \fB/proc/\fR\fIpid\fR\fB/map\fR and
72 72 \fB/proc/\fR\fIpid\fR\fB/xmap\fR can be read to determine the accessible areas
73 73 (mappings) of the address space. \fBI/O\fR transfers may span contiguous
74 74 mappings. An \fBI/O\fR request extending into an unmapped area is truncated at
75 75 the boundary. A write request beginning at an unmapped virtual address fails
76 76 with \fBEIO\fR; a read request beginning at an unmapped virtual address returns
77 77 zero (an end-of-file indication).
78 78 .sp
79 79 .LP
80 80 Information and control operations are provided through additional files.
81 81 \fB<procfs.h>\fR contains definitions of data structures and message formats
82 82 used with these files. Some of these definitions involve the use of sets of
83 83 flags. The set types \fBsigset_t\fR, \fBfltset_t\fR, and \fBsysset_t\fR
84 84 correspond, respectively, to signal, fault, and system call enumerations
85 85 defined in \fB<sys/signal.h>\fR, \fB<sys/fault.h>\fR, and
86 86 \fB<sys/syscall.h>\fR\&. Each set type is large enough to hold flags for its
87 87 own enumeration. Although they are of different sizes, they have a common
88 88 structure and can be manipulated by these macros:
89 89 .sp
90 90 .in +2
91 91 .nf
92 92 prfillset(&set); /* turn on all flags in set */
93 93 premptyset(&set); /* turn off all flags in set */
94 94 praddset(&set, flag); /* turn on the specified flag */
95 95 prdelset(&set, flag); /* turn off the specified flag */
96 96 r = prismember(&set, flag); /* != 0 iff flag is turned on */
97 97 .fi
98 98 .in -2
99 99
100 100 .sp
101 101 .LP
102 102 One of \fBprfillset()\fR or \fBpremptyset()\fR must be used to initialize
103 103 \fBset\fR before it is used in any other operation. \fBflag\fR must be a member
104 104 of the enumeration corresponding to \fBset\fR.
105 105 .sp
106 106 .LP
107 107 Every process contains at least one \fIlight-weight process\fR, or \fIlwp\fR.
108 108 Each lwp represents a flow of execution that is independently scheduled by the
109 109 operating system. All lwps in a process share its address space as well as many
110 110 other attributes. Through the use of \fBlwpctl\fR and \fBctl\fR files as
111 111 described below, it is possible to affect individual lwps in a process or to
112 112 affect all of them at once, depending on the operation.
113 113 .sp
114 114 .LP
115 115 When the process has more than one lwp, a representative lwp is chosen by the
116 116 system for certain process status files and control operations. The
117 117 representative lwp is a stopped lwp only if all of the process's lwps are
118 118 stopped; is stopped on an event of interest only if all of the lwps are so
119 119 stopped (excluding \fBPR_SUSPENDED\fR lwps); is in a \fBPR_REQUESTED\fR stop
120 120 only if there are no other events of interest to be found; or, failing
121 121 everything else, is in a \fBPR_SUSPENDED\fR stop (implying that the process is
122 122 deadlocked). See the description of the \fBstatus\fR file for definitions of
123 123 stopped states. See the \fBPCSTOP\fR control operation for the definition of
124 124 ``event of interest''.
125 125 .sp
126 126 .LP
127 127 The representative lwp remains fixed (it will be chosen again on the next
128 128 operation) as long as all of the lwps are stopped on events of interest or are
129 129 in a \fBPR_SUSPENDED\fR stop and the \fBPCRUN\fR control operation is not
130 130 applied to any of them.
131 131 .sp
132 132 .LP
133 133 When applied to the process control file, every \fB/proc\fR control operation
134 134 that must act on an lwp uses the same algorithm to choose which lwp to act
135 135 upon. Together with synchronous stopping (see \fBPCSET\fR), this enables a
136 136 debugger to control a multiple-lwp process using only the process-level status
137 137 and control files if it so chooses. More fine-grained control can be achieved
138 138 using the lwp-specific files.
139 139 .sp
140 140 .LP
141 141 The system supports two process data models, the traditional 32-bit data model
142 142 in which ints, longs and pointers are all 32 bits wide (the ILP32 data model),
143 143 and on some platforms the 64-bit data model in which longs and pointers, but
144 144 not ints, are 64 bits in width (the LP64 data model). In the LP64 data model
145 145 some system data types, notably \fBsize_t\fR, \fBoff_t\fR, \fBtime_t\fR and
146 146 \fBdev_t\fR, grow from 32 bits to 64 bits as well.
147 147 .sp
148 148 .LP
149 149 The \fB/proc\fR interfaces described here are available to both 32-bit and
150 150 64-bit controlling processes. However, many operations attempted by a 32-bit
151 151 controlling process on a 64-bit target process will fail with \fBEOVERFLOW\fR
152 152 because the address space range of a 32-bit process cannot encompass a 64-bit
153 153 process or because the data in some 64-bit system data type cannot be
154 154 compressed to fit into the corresponding 32-bit type without loss of
155 155 information. Operations that fail in this circumstance include reading and
156 156 writing the address space, reading the address-map files, and setting the
157 157 target process's registers. There is no restriction on operations applied by a
158 158 64-bit process to either a 32-bit or a 64-bit target processes.
159 159 .sp
160 160 .LP
161 161 The format of the contents of any \fB/proc\fR file depends on the data model of
162 162 the observer (the controlling process), not on the data model of the target
163 163 process. A 64-bit debugger does not have to translate the information it reads
164 164 from a \fB/proc\fR file for a 32-bit process from 32-bit format to 64-bit
165 165 format. However, it usually has to be aware of the data model of the target
166 166 process. The \fBpr_dmodel\fR field of the \fBstatus\fR files indicates the
167 167 target process's data model.
168 168 .sp
169 169 .LP
170 170 To help deal with system data structures that are read from 32-bit processes, a
171 171 64-bit controlling program can be compiled with the C preprocessor symbol
172 172 \fB_SYSCALL32\fR defined before system header files are included. This makes
173 173 explicit 32-bit fixed-width data structures (like \fBcstruct stat32\fR) visible
174 174 to the 64-bit program. See \fBtypes32.h\fR(3HEAD).
175 175 .SH DIRECTORY STRUCTURE
176 176 .LP
177 177 At the top level, the directory \fB/proc\fR contains entries each of which
178 178 names an existing process in the system. These entries are themselves
179 179 directories. Except where otherwise noted, the files described below can be
180 180 opened for reading only. In addition, if a process becomes a \fIzombie\fR (one
181 181 that has exited but whose parent has not yet performed a \fBwait\fR(3C) upon
182 182 it), most of its associated \fB/proc\fR files disappear from the hierarchy;
183 183 subsequent attempts to open them, or to read or write files opened before the
184 184 process exited, will elicit the error \fBENOENT\fR.
185 185 .sp
186 186 .LP
187 187 Although process state and consequently the contents of \fB/proc\fR files can
188 188 change from instant to instant, a single \fBread\fR(2) of a \fB/proc\fR file is
189 189 guaranteed to return a sane representation of state; that is, the read will be
190 190 atomic with respect to the state of the process. No such guarantee applies to
191 191 successive reads applied to a \fB/proc\fR file for a running process. In
192 192 addition, atomicity is not guaranteed for \fBI/O\fR applied to the \fBas\fR
193 193 (address-space) file for a running process or for a process whose address space
194 194 contains memory shared by another running process.
195 195 .sp
196 196 .LP
197 197 A number of structure definitions are used to describe the files. These
198 198 structures may grow by the addition of elements at the end in future releases
199 199 of the system and it is not legitimate for a program to assume that they will
200 200 not.
201 201 .SH STRUCTURE OF \fB/proc/\fR\fIpid\fR
202 202 .LP
203 203 A given directory \fB/proc/\fR\fIpid\fR contains the following entries. A
204 204 process can use the invisible alias \fB/proc/self\fR if it wishes to open one
205 205 of its own \fB/proc\fR files (invisible in the sense that the name ``self''
206 206 does not appear in a directory listing of \fB/proc\fR obtained from
207 207 \fBls\fR(1), \fBgetdents\fR(2), or \fBreaddir\fR(3C)).
208 208 .SS "contracts"
209 209 .LP
210 210 A directory containing references to the contracts held by the process. Each
211 211 entry is a symlink to the contract's directory under \fB/system/contract\fR.
212 212 See \fBcontract\fR(4).
213 213 .SS "as"
214 214 .LP
215 215 Contains the address-space image of the process; it can be opened for both
216 216 reading and writing. \fBlseek\fR(2) is used to position the file at the virtual
217 217 address of interest and then the address space can be examined or changed
218 218 through \fBread\fR(2) or \fBwrite\fR(2) (or by using \fBpread\fR(2) or
219 219 \fBpwrite\fR(2) for the combined operation).
220 220 .SS "ctl"
221 221 .LP
222 222 A write-only file to which structured messages are written directing the system
223 223 to change some aspect of the process's state or control its behavior in some
224 224 way. The seek offset is not relevant when writing to this file. Individual lwps
225 225 also have associated \fBlwpctl\fR files in the lwp subdirectories. A control
226 226 message may be written either to the process's \fBctl\fR file or to a specific
227 227 \fBlwpctl\fR file with operation-specific effects. The effect of a control
228 228 message is immediately reflected in the state of the process visible through
229 229 appropriate status and information files. The types of control messages are
230 230 described in detail later. See \fBCONTROL MESSAGES\fR.
231 231 .SS "status"
232 232 .LP
233 233 Contains state information about the process and the representative lwp. The
234 234 file contains a \fBpstatus\fR structure which contains an embedded
235 235 \fBlwpstatus\fR structure for the representative lwp, as follows:

1250 1250 .SS "rmap"
1251 1251 .LP

1253 1253 contains an array of \fBprmap\fR structures, as defined above for the \fBmap\fR
1254 1254 file. Each structure describes a contiguous virtual address region in the
1255 1255 address space of the traced process that is reserved by the system in the sense
1256 1256 that an \fBmmap\fR(2) system call that does not specify \fBMAP_FIXED\fR will
1257 1257 not use any part of it for the new mapping. Examples of such reservations

1260 1260 .SS "cwd"
1261 1261 .LP
1262 1262 A symbolic link to the process's current working directory. See \fBchdir\fR(2).
1263 1263 A \fBreadlink\fR(2) of \fB/proc/\fIpid\fR/cwd\fR yields a null string. However,
1264 1264 it can be opened, listed, and searched as a directory, and can be the target of
1265 1265 \fBchdir\fR(2).
1266 1266 .SS "root"
1267 1267 .LP
1268 1268 A symbolic link to the process's root directory.
1269 1269 \fB/proc/\fR\fIpid\fR\fB/root\fR can differ from the system root directory if
1270 1270 the process or one of its ancestors executed \fBchroot\fR(2) as super user. It

1287 1287 A directory containing read-only files with names corresponding to the
1288 1288 \fBpr_mapname\fR entries in the \fBmap\fR and \fBpagedata\fR files. Opening
1289 1289 such a file yields a file descriptor for the underlying mapped file associated
1290 1290 with an address-space mapping in the process. The file name \fBa.out\fR appears
1291 1291 in the directory as an alias for the process's executable file.

1294 1294 The \fBobject\fR directory makes it possible for a controlling process to gain

1297 1297 .SS "path"
1298 1298 .LP
1299 1299 A directory containing symbolic links to files opened by the process. The

1301 1301 contains a numerical entry for each file descriptor in the \fBfd\fR directory,
1302 1302 and entries matching those in the \fBobject\fR directory. If this information
1303 1303 is not available, any attempt to read the contents of the symbolic link will
1304 1304 fail. This is most common for files that do not exist in the filesystem
1305 1305 namespace (such as \fBFIFO\fRs and sockets), but can also happen for regular
1306 1306 files. For the file descriptor entries, the path may be different from the one

1583 1583 \fBPCTWSTOP\fR is identical to \fBPCWSTOP\fR except that it enables the
1584 1584 operation to time out, to avoid waiting forever for a process or lwp that may
1585 1585 never stop on an event of interest. \fBPCTWSTOP\fR takes a \fBlong\fR operand
1586 1586 specifying a number of milliseconds; the wait will terminate successfully after
1587 1587 the specified number of milliseconds even if the process or lwp has not
1588 1588 stopped; a timeout value of zero makes the operation identical to

1592 1592 An ``event of interest'' is either a \fBPR_REQUESTED\fR stop or a stop that has
1593 1593 been specified in the process's tracing flags (set by \fBPCSTRACE\fR,
1594 1594 \fBPCSFAULT\fR, \fBPCSENTRY\fR, and \fBPCSEXIT\fR). \fBPR_JOBCONTROL\fR and
1595 1595 \fBPR_SUSPENDED\fR stops are specifically not events of interest. (An lwp may
1596 1596 stop twice due to a stop signal, first showing \fBPR_SIGNALLED\fR if the signal
1597 1597 is traced and again showing \fBPR_JOBCONTROL\fR if the lwp is set running
1598 1598 without clearing the signal.) If \fBPCSTOP\fR or \fBPCDSTOP\fR is applied to an
1599 1599 lwp that is stopped, but not on an event of interest, the stop directive takes
1600 1600 effect when the lwp is restarted by the competing mechanism. At that time, the
1601 1601 lwp enters a \fBPR_REQUESTED\fR stop before executing any user-level code.

2301 2301 set. The target process's supplementary groups are not changed; the

2313 2313 operand (see \fB/proc/pid/priv\fR). The effective, permitted, inheritable, and
2314 2314 limit sets are all changed. Privilege flags can also be set. The process is
2315 2315 made privilege aware unless it can relinquish privilege awareness. See

2329 2329 For security reasons, except for the \fBpsinfo\fR, \fBusage\fR, \fBlpsinfo\fR,
2330 2330 \fBlusage\fR, \fBlwpsinfo\fR, and \fBlwpusage\fR files, which are
2331 2331 world-readable, and except for privileged processes, an open of a \fB/proc\fR
2332 2332 file fails unless both the user-ID and group-ID of the caller match those of
2333 2333 the traced process and the process's object file is readable by the caller. The
2334 2334 effective set of the caller is a superset of both the inheritable and the
2335 2335 permitted set of the target process. The limit set of the caller is a superset
2336 2336 of the limit set of the target process. Except for the world-readable files
2337 2337 just mentioned, files corresponding to setuid and setgid processes can be
2338 2338 opened only by the appropriately privileged process.

2341 2341 A process that is missing the basic privilege {\fBPRIV_PROC_INFO\fR} cannot see

2344 2344 .LP
2345 2345 A process that has {\fBPRIV_PROC_OWNER\fR} asserted in its effective set can
2346 2346 open any file for reading. To manipulate or control a process, the controlling
2347 2347 process must have at least as many privileges in its effective set as the
2348 2348 target process has in its effective, inheritable, and permitted sets. The limit
2349 2349 set of the controlling process must be a superset of the limit set of the
2350 2350 target process. Additional restrictions apply if any of the uids of the target
2351 2351 process are 0. See \fBprivileges\fR(5).

2354 2354 Even if held by a privileged process, an open process or lwp file descriptor
2355 2355 (other than file descriptors for the world-readable files) becomes invalid if
2356 2356 the traced process performs an \fBexec\fR(2) of a setuid/setgid object file or
2357 2357 an object file that the traced process cannot read. Any operation performed on
2358 2358 an invalid file descriptor, except \fBclose\fR(2), fails with \fBEAGAIN\fR. In
2359 2359 this situation, if any tracing flags are set and the process or any lwp file
2360 2360 descriptor is open for writing, the process will have been directed to stop and
2361 2361 its run-on-last-close flag will have been set (see \fBPCSET\fR). This enables a
2362 2362 controlling process (if it has permission) to reopen the \fB/proc\fR files to
2363 2363 get new valid file descriptors, close the invalid file descriptors, unset the
2364 2364 run-on-last-close flag (if desired), and proceed. Just closing the invalid file
2365 2365 descriptors causes the traced process to resume execution with all tracing
2366 2366 flags cleared. Any process not currently open for writing via \fB/proc\fR, but
2367 2367 that has left-over tracing flags from a previous open, and that executes a
2368 2368 setuid/setgid or unreadable object file, will not be stopped but will have all
2369 2369 its tracing flags cleared.

2372 2372 To wait for one or more of a set of processes or lwps to stop or terminate,
2373 2373 \fB/proc\fR file descriptors (other than those obtained by opening the
2374 2374 \fBcwd\fR or \fBroot\fR directories or by opening files in the \fBfd\fR or
2375 2375 \fBobject\fR directories) can be used in a \fBpoll\fR(2) system call. When
2376 2376 requested and returned, either of the polling events \fBPOLLPRI\fR or
2377 2377 \fBPOLLWRNORM\fR indicates that the process or lwp stopped on an event of
2378 2378 interest. Although they cannot be requested, the polling events \fBPOLLHUP\fR,
2379 2379 \fBPOLLERR\fR, and \fBPOLLNVAL\fR may be returned. \fBPOLLHUP\fR indicates that
2380 2380 the process or lwp has terminated. \fBPOLLERR\fR indicates that the file
2381 2381 descriptor has become invalid. \fBPOLLNVAL\fR is returned immediately if
2382 2382 \fBPOLLPRI\fR or \fBPOLLWRNORM\fR is requested on a file descriptor referring
2383 2383 to a system process (see \fBPCSTOP\fR). The requested events may be empty to
2384 2384 wait simply for termination.

2972 2972 Because the old \fBioctl\fR(2)-based version of \fB/proc\fR is currently
2973 2973 supported for binary compatibility with old applications, the top-level
2974 2974 directory for a process, \fB/proc/\fR\fIpid\fR, is not world-readable, but it
2975 2975 is world-searchable. Thus, anyone can open \fB/proc/\fR\fIpid\fR\fB/psinfo\fR
2976 2976 even though \fBls\fR(1) applied to \fB/proc/\fR\fIpid\fR will fail for anyone
2977 2977 but the owner or an appropriately privileged process. Support for the old
2978 2978 \fBioctl\fR(2)-based version of \fB/proc\fR will be dropped in a future
2979 2979 release, at which time the top-level directory for a process will be made
2980 2980 world-readable.
