+.Nd set fault tracing flags
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Lb libproc
+.In libproc.h
+.Ft void
+.Fo Psetfault
+.Fa "struct ps_prochandle *P"
+.Fa "const fltset_t *set"
+.Fc
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn Psetfault
+function sets the fault tracing flags on the process handle
+.Fa P
+to
+.Fa set .
+It replaces any existing fault tracing flags on the process. These
+flags indicate which faults cause execution of the thread to stop.
+Allowing another tool, such as a debugger, to act upon the process.
+For more information on faults and the
+.Sy fltset_t
+structure see the
+.Sy PCSFAULT
+section in
+.Xr proc 4 .
+The current fault set for the process may be obtained through the
+.Xr Pfault 3PROC
+function.
+.Pp
+Note, only active processes may have their fault set updated. Process
+handles that refer to core files, zombie processes, and files do not
+have fault tracing flags and this function is a no-op on them.
