PR_SET_PTRACER(2const) PR_SET_PTRACER(2const)
PR_SET_PTRACER - allow processes to ptrace(2) the calling process
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
#include <linux/prctl.h> /* Definition of PR_* constants */
#include <sys/prctl.h>
int prctl(PR_SET_PTRACER, long pid);
This is meaningful only when the Yama LSM is enabled and in mode
1 ("restricted ptrace", visible via /proc/sys/kernel/yama/
ptrace_scope).
When a "ptracer process ID" is passed in pid, the caller is
declaring that the ptracer process can ptrace(2) the calling
process as if it were a direct process ancestor.
Each PR_SET_PTRACER operation replaces the previous "ptracer
process ID".
Employing PR_SET_PTRACER with pid set to 0 clears the caller's
"ptracer process ID". If pid is PR_SET_PTRACER_ANY, the ptrace
restrictions introduced by Yama are effectively disabled for the
calling process.
On success, 0 is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno
is set to indicate the error.
EINVAL pid is not 0, PR_SET_PTRACER_ANY, nor the PID of an
existing process.
