39*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
40*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<p>
41*1031c584SApple OSS DistributionsThe <strong>task_set_emulation_vector</strong> function establishes
42*1031c584SApple OSS Distributionsa handler within the task
43*1031c584SApple OSS Distributionsfor a set of system calls.  When a thread executes a system call
44*1031c584SApple OSS Distributionswith one of these
45*1031c584SApple OSS Distributionsnumbers, the system call will be redirected to the corresponding
46*1031c584SApple OSS Distributionsroutine within
47*1031c584SApple OSS Distributionsthe task's address space.
48*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<p>
49*1031c584SApple OSS DistributionsThese emulation handler addresses are inherited by child processes.
50*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<h3>NOTES</h3>
51*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<p>
52*1031c584SApple OSS DistributionsThis interface is machine word length specific because of the
53*1031c584SApple OSS Distributionsvirtual addresses
54*1031c584SApple OSS Distributionsin the <var>emulation_vector</var> parameter.
55*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
56*1031c584SApple OSS Distributions<p>
57*1031c584SApple OSS DistributionsOnly generic errors apply.
