PROCCONTROL(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual PROCCONTROL(1)
NAME
proccontrol - Control some process execution aspects
SYNOPSIS
proccontrol -m mode [-s control] [-q] -p pid | command
DESCRIPTION
The proccontrol command modifies the execution parameter of existing
process specified by the pid argument, or starts execution of the new
program command with the execution parameter set for it.
Which execution parameter is changed, selected by the mandatory parameter
mode. Possible values for mode are:
aslr Control the Address Space Layout Randomization. Only applicable
to the new process spawned.
trace Control the permission for debuggers to attach. Note that
process is only allowed to enable tracing for itself, not for
any other process.
trapcap Controls the signalling of capability mode access violations.
protmax Controls the implicit PROT_MAX application for mmap(2).
nonewprivs
Controls disabling the setuid and sgid bits for execve(2).
wxmap Controls the write exclusive execute mode for mappings.
kpti Controls the KPTI enable, AMD64 only.
la48 Control limiting usermode process address space to 48 bits of
address, AMD64 only, on machines capable of 57-bit addressing.
The control specifies if the selected mode should be enabled or disabled.
Possible values are enable and disable, with the default value being
enable if not specified. See procctl(2) for detailed description of each
mode effects and interaction with other process control facilities.
The -q switch makes the utility query and print the current setting for
the selected mode. The -q requires the query target process
specification with -p.
EXIT STATUS
The proccontrol utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
o To disable debuggers attachment to the process 1020, execute
proccontrol -m trace -s disable -p 1020
o To execute the uniq(1) program in a mode where capability access
violations cause SIGTRAP delivery, do
proccontrol -m trapcap uniq
o To query the current ASLR enablement mode for the running process
1020, do
