+.Fc
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn pr_getitimer
+function injects the
+.Xr getitimer 2
+system call into the target process
+.Fa P
+by means of the agent LWP.
+If the process handle
+.Fa P
+is
+.Dv NULL
+then this will be equivalent to calling
+.Xr getitimer 2
+on the currently running process.
+.Pp
+The arguments
+.Fa which
+and
+.Fa itv
+have the same meaning as in
+.Xr getitimer 2 .
+See
+.Xr getitimer 2
+for the full description and purpose of the
+.Sy getitimer
+system call and its arguments.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn pr_getitimer
+function only works on active processes. Process handles that correspond
+to core files, zombie processes, or ELF objects do not support system
+call injection.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion, the
+.Fn pr_getitimer
+function's return value is that described in
+.Xr getitimer 2 .
+Otherwise,
+.Sy -1
+is returned and
+.Sy errno
+is set to
+.Er ENOSYS
+to indicate that the system call could not be injected.
+.Sh ERRORS
+For the full list of errors see the
+.Sy ERRORS
+section in
+.Xr getitimer 2 .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn pr_getitimer
+function will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Er ENOSYS
+An error occurred while trying to invoke the agent LWP and inject a
+system call in the process handle
+.Fa P
+or the process handle
+.Fa P
+does not support system call injection.
