15*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<dt> <var>task</var>
16*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<dd>
17*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions[in task port] The port for the task for which to establish the system call handler.

19*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<dt> <var>routine_entry_pt</var>
20*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<dd>
21*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions[in scalar] The address within the task of the handler for this particular system call.
22*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<p>
23*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<dt> <var>syscall_number</var>
24*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<dd>
25*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions[in scalar] The number of the system call to be handled by this handler.

27*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
28*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<p>
29*c54f35caSApple OSS DistributionsThe <strong>task_set_emulation</strong> function establishes a handler within the task
30*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributionsfor a particular system call. When a thread executes a system call
31*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributionswith this particular number, the system call will be redirected to the
32*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributionsspecified routine within the task's address space. This is expected to
33*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributionsbe an address within the transparent emulation library.  These
34*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributionsemulation handler addresses are inherited by child processes.
35*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<h3>NOTES</h3>
36*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<p>
37*c54f35caSApple OSS DistributionsThis interface is machine word length specific because of the virtual
38*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributionsaddress parameter.
39*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
40*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<p>
41*c54f35caSApple OSS DistributionsOnly generic errors apply.
