39*699cd480SApple OSS Distributions<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
40*699cd480SApple OSS Distributions<p>
41*699cd480SApple OSS DistributionsThe <strong>task_set_emulation_vector</strong> function establishes
42*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionsa handler within the task
43*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionsfor a set of system calls.  When a thread executes a system call
44*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionswith one of these
45*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionsnumbers, the system call will be redirected to the corresponding
46*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionsroutine within
47*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionsthe task's address space.
48*699cd480SApple OSS Distributions<p>
49*699cd480SApple OSS DistributionsThese emulation handler addresses are inherited by child processes.
50*699cd480SApple OSS Distributions<h3>NOTES</h3>
51*699cd480SApple OSS Distributions<p>
52*699cd480SApple OSS DistributionsThis interface is machine word length specific because of the
53*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionsvirtual addresses
54*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionsin the <var>emulation_vector</var> parameter.
55*699cd480SApple OSS Distributions<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
56*699cd480SApple OSS Distributions<p>
57*699cd480SApple OSS DistributionsOnly generic errors apply.
