38*19c3b8c2SApple OSS Distributions<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
39*19c3b8c2SApple OSS Distributions<p>
40*19c3b8c2SApple OSS DistributionsThe <strong>thread_set_state</strong> function sets the execution state
41*19c3b8c2SApple OSS Distributions(for example, the
42*19c3b8c2SApple OSS Distributionsmachine registers) for <var>target_thread</var>.  <var>flavor</var> specifies the type
43*19c3b8c2SApple OSS Distributionsof state to set.
44*19c3b8c2SApple OSS Distributions<p>
45*19c3b8c2SApple OSS DistributionsThe format of the state to set is machine specific; it is defined in
46*19c3b8c2SApple OSS Distributions<strong>mach/thread_status.h</strong>.
47*19c3b8c2SApple OSS Distributions<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
48*19c3b8c2SApple OSS Distributions<p>
49*19c3b8c2SApple OSS DistributionsOnly generic errors apply.
