1<h2>thread_set_state</h2> 2<hr> 3<p> 4<strong>Function</strong> - Set the target thread's user-mode execution state. 5<h3>SYNOPSIS</h3> 6<pre> 7<strong>kern_return_t thread_set_state</strong> 8 <strong>(thread_act_t</strong> <var>target_thread</var>, 9 <strong>thread_state_flavor_t</strong> <var>flavor</var>, 10 <strong>thread_state_t</strong> <var>new_state</var>, 11 <strong>target_thread</strong> <var>new_state_count</var><strong>);</strong> 12</pre> 13<h3>PARAMETERS</h3> 14<dl> 15<p> 16<dt> <var>target_thread</var> 17<dd> 18[in thread send right] 19The thread for which to set the execution state. 20The calling thread cannot specify itself. 21<p> 22<dt> <var>flavor</var> 23<dd> 24[in scalar] 25The type of state to set. Valid values correspond to 26supported machine architecture features. 27<p> 28<dt> <var>new_state</var> 29<dd> 30[pointer to in structure] 31State information for the specified thread. 32<p> 33<dt> <var>new_state_count</var> 34<dd> 35[in scalar] 36The size of the buffer (in natural-sized units). 37</dl> 38<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3> 39<p> 40The <strong>thread_set_state</strong> function sets the execution state 41(for example, the 42machine registers) for <var>target_thread</var>. <var>flavor</var> specifies the type 43of state to set. 44<p> 45The format of the state to set is machine specific; it is defined in 46<strong>mach/thread_status.h</strong>. 47<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3> 48<p> 49Only generic errors apply. 50<h3>RELATED INFORMATION</h3> 51<p> 52Functions: 53<a href="task_info.html"><strong>task_info</strong></a>, 54<a href="thread_get_state.html"><strong>thread_get_state</strong></a>, 55<a href="thread_info.html"><strong>thread_info</strong></a>. 56
