zx_process_write_memory

NAME

process_write_memory - Write into the given process's address space.

SYNOPSIS

#include <zircon/syscalls.h>

zx_status_t zx_process_write_memory(zx_handle_t handle,
                                    zx_vaddr_t vaddr,
                                    const void* buffer,
                                    size_t buffer_size,
                                    size_t* actual);

DESCRIPTION

zx_process_write_memory() attempts to write memory of the specified process.

This function will eventually be replaced with something vmo-centric.

vaddr the address of the block of memory to write.

buffer pointer to a user buffer containing the bytes to write.

buffer_size number of bytes to attempt to write. buffer buffer must be large enough for at least this many bytes. buffer_size must be greater than zero and less than or equal to 64MB.

actual_size the actual number of bytes written is stored here. Less bytes than requested may be returned if vaddr+buffer_size extends beyond the memory mapped in the process.

RIGHTS

handle must be of type ZX_OBJ_TYPE_PROCESS and have ZX_RIGHT_WRITE.

RETURN VALUE

zx_process_write_memory() returns ZX_OK on success. In the event of failure, a negative error value is returned, and the number of bytes written to buffer is undefined.

ERRORS

ZX_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED handle does not have the ZX_RIGHT_WRITE right.

ZX_ERR_BAD_HANDLE handle is not a valid handle.

ZX_ERR_BAD_STATE the process's memory is not accessible (e.g., the process is being terminated), or the requested memory is not cacheable.

ZX_ERR_INVALID_ARGS buffer is an invalid pointer or NULL, or buffer_size is zero or greater than 64MB.

ZX_ERR_NO_MEMORY the process does not have any memory at the requested address.

ZX_ERR_WRONG_TYPE handle is not a process handle.
