UNW_SET_REG(3libunwind)       Programming Library	 UNW_SET_REG(3libunwind)

NAME
     unw_set_reg -- set register contents

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libunwind.h>

     int unw_set_reg(unw_cursor_t *cp, unw_regnum_t reg, unw_word_t val);

DESCRIPTION
     The unw_set_reg() routine sets the value of register reg in the stack frame
     identified by cursor cp to the value passed in val.

     The register numbering is target dependent and described in separate manual
     pages  (e.g.,  libunwind-ia64(3libunwind)	for the IA-64 target).	Further-
     more, the exact set of accessible registers may depend on the type of frame
     that cp is referring to. For ordinary stack frames, it is normally possible
     to access only the preserved (``callee-saved'') registers and frame-related
     registers (such as the stack pointer).  However,  for  signal  frames  (see
     unw_is_signal_frame(3libunwind)), it is usually possible to access all reg-
     isters.

     Note that unw_set_reg() can only write the contents of registers whose val-
     ues  fit in a single word. See unw_set_fpreg(3libunwind) for a way to write
     registers which do not fit this constraint.

RETURN VALUE
     On successful completion, unw_set_reg() returns 0.  Otherwise the	negative
     value of one of the error codes below is returned.

THREAD AND SIGNAL SAFETY
     unw_set_reg() is thread-safe as well as safe to use from a signal handler.

ERRORS
     UNW_EUNSPEC
	     An unspecified error occurred.

     UNW_EBADREG
	     An  attempt  was made to write a register that is either invalid or
	    not accessible in the current frame.

     UNW_EREADONLY
	     An attempt was made to write to a read-only register.

     In addition, unw_set_reg()  may  return  any  error  returned  by	the  ac-
     cess_mem(),   access_reg(),  and  access_fpreg()  callbacks  (see	unw_cre-
     ate_addr_space(3libunwind)).
