.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBtd_ta_new()\fR function registers a target process with
\fBlibc_db\fR(3LIB) and allocates an internal process handle of type
\fBtd_thragent_t\fR for this target process. Subsequent calls to \fBlibc_db\fR
can use this handle to refer to this target process.
.sp
.LP
There are actually two process handles, an internal process handle assigned by
\fBlibc_db\fR and an external process handle assigned by the \fBlibc_db\fR
client. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the two handles. When the
client calls a \fBlibc_db\fR function, it uses the internal process handle.
When \fBlibc_db\fR calls one of the client-provided routines listed in
\fBproc_service\fR(3PROC), it uses the external process handle.
.sp
.LP
The \fIph\fR argument is the external process handle that \fBlibc_db\fR should
use to identify this target process to the controlling process when it calls
routines in the imported interface.
.sp
.LP
If this call is successful, the value of the newly allocated
\fBtd_thragent_t\fR handle is returned in *\fIta_pp\fR. The
\fBtd_ta_delete()\fR function deregisters a target process with \fBlibc_db\fR,
which deallocates its internal process handle and frees any other resources
\fBlibc_db\fR has acquired with respect to the target process. The \fIta_p\fR
argument specifies the target process to be deregistered.
.sp
.LP
The \fBtd_ta_get_ph()\fR function returns in *\fIph_pp\fR the external process
handle that corresponds to the internal process handle \fIta_p\fR. This is
useful for checking internal consistency.
