.Dd February 13, 2003 .Dt PTHREAD_SWITCH_ADD_NP 3 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm pthread_switch_add_np , .Nm pthread_switch_delete_np .Nd thread context switches debugging primitives .Sh LIBRARY .Lb libpthread .Sh SYNOPSIS n pthread_np.h .Ft int .Fn pthread_switch_add_np "pthread_switch_routine_t routine" .Ft int .Fn pthread_switch_delete_np "pthread_switch_routine_t routine" .Sh DESCRIPTION An application is allowed to monitor the thread context switches inside the threading library. An application can install a routine that gets called every time a thread (explicitly created by an application with the .Xr pthread_create 3 function) gets the context switched. The routine is passed the thread IDs of the threads that are being switched in and out. Installation and removal of these hooks may be done using the .Fn pthread_switch_add_np and .Fn pthread_switch_delete_np functions respectively. .Sh RETURN VALUES If successful, these functions return 0. Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error. .Sh ERRORS The .Fn pthread_switch_add_np may fail if: l -tag -width Er t Bq Er EINVAL .Dv NULL pointer was passed in the .Fa routine argument. .El

p The .Fn pthread_switch_delete_np may fail if: l -tag -width Er t Bq Er EINVAL The .Fa routine argument is different from the argument previously passed to the .Fn pthread_switch_add_np function. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr pthread_create 3 .Sh AUTHORS This manual page was written by .An Alexey Zelkin Aq phantom@FreeBSD.org .
