.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
These functions comprise the thread event facility for \fBlibc_db\fR(3LIB).
This facility allows the controlling process to be notified when certain
thread-related events occur in a target process and to retrieve information
associated with these events.  An event consists of an event type, and
optionally, some  associated event data, depending on the event type. See the
section  titled "Event Set Manipulation Macros" that follows.
.sp
.LP
The event type  and the associated event data, if any, constitute an "event
message."   "Reporting an event" means delivering  an event message to the
controlling process by way of \fBlibc_db\fR.
.sp
.LP
Several flags can control event reporting, both a per-thread and per event
basis. Event reporting may further be enabled  or disabled for a thread. There
is not only a per-thread event mask that specifies which  event types should be
reported for that thread, but there is also  a global event mask that applies
to all threads.
.sp
.LP
An event is reported, if and only if, the executing thread has event reporting
enabled, and either the event type is enabled in the executing thread's event
mask, or the event type is enabled in the global event mask.
.sp
.LP
Each thread has associated with it an event buffer in which it stores the most
recent event message it has generated, the type of the most recent event that
it reported, and, depending on the event type, some additional information
related to that event.  See the section titled  "Event Set Manipulation Macros"
for a description of the  \fBtd_thr_events_e\fR and \fBtd_event_msg_t\fR types
and a list of the event types and the values reported with them. The thread
handle, type \fBtd_thrhandle_t\fR, the event type, and the possible value,
together constitute an event message. Each thread's event buffer holds at most
one event message.
.sp
.LP
Each event type has an event reporting address associated with it.  A thread
reports an event by writing the event message into the thread's event buffer
and having control reach the event reporting address for that event type.
.sp
.LP
Typically, the controlling process sets a breakpoint at the event reporting
address for one or more event types. When the breakpoint is hit, the
controlling process knows that an event of the corresponding type has occurred.
.sp
.LP
The event types, and the additional information, if any, reported with each
event, are:

.sp
.LP
The \fBtd_ta_event_addr()\fR function returns in *\fInotify_p\fR the event
reporting address associated with event type \fBevent\fR. The controlling
process may then set a breakpoint at that address.  If a thread hits that
breakpoint, it reports an event of type  \fBevent\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fBtd_thr_event_enable()\fR function enables or disables event reporting
for thread \fIth_p\fR. If a thread has event reporting disabled, it will not
report any events. Threads are started with event reporting disabled.  Event
reporting is enabled if  \fBon_off\fR is non-zero; otherwise, it is disabled.
To determine whether or not event reporting is enabled  on a thread, call
\fBtd_thr_getinfo()\fR for the thread and examine the \fBti_traceme\fR member
of the \fBtd_thrinfo_t\fR structure it returns.
.sp
.LP
The \fBtd_thr_set_event()\fR and \fBtd_thr_clear_event()\fR functions set and
clear, respectively, a set of event types in the event mask associated with the
thread \fIth_p\fR. To inspect a thread's event mask, call
\fBtd_thr_getinfo()\fR for the thread and examine the \fBti_events\fR member of
the \fBtd_thrinfo_t\fR structure it returns.
.sp
.LP
The \fBtd_ta_set_event()\fR and \fBtd_ta_clear_event()\fR functions identical
to \fBtd_thr_set_event()\fR and \fBtd_thr_clear_event()\fR, respectively,
except that the target process's global event mask is  modified. There is no
provision for inspecting the value of a  target process's global event mask.
.sp
.LP
The \fBtd_thr_event_getmsg()\fR function returns in *\fImsg\fR the event
message associated with thread *\fIth_p\fR. Reading a thread's event message
consumes the message, emptying the thread's event buffer.  As noted above, each
thread's event buffer holds at most one event message; if a thread reports a
second event before the first event message has been read, the second event
message overwrites the first.
.sp
.LP
The \fBtd_ta_event_getmsg()\fR function is identical to
\fBtd_thr_event_getmsg()\fR, except that it is passed a process handle rather
than a thread handle. It selects some thread that has an event message buffered
and returns that thread's message.  The thread selected is undefined, except
that as long as at least one thread has an event message buffered, it returns
an event message from some such thread.
