     11 \section{Synopsis}
     12 
     13 \File{\#include $<$libunwind.h$>$}\\
     14 
     15 \Type{int} \Func{unw\_set\_fpreg}(\Type{unw\_cursor\_t~*}\Var{cp}, \Type{unw\_regnum\_t} \Var{reg}, \Type{unw\_fpreg\_t} \Var{val});\\
     16 
     17 \section{Description}
     18 
     19 The \Func{unw\_set\_fpreg}() routine sets the value of register
     20 \Var{reg} in the stack frame identified by cursor \Var{cp} to the
     21 value passed in \Var{val}.
     22 
     23 The register numbering is target-dependent and described in separate
     24 manual pages (e.g., libunwind-ia64(3) for the IA-64 target).
     25 Furthermore, the exact set of accessible registers may depend on the
     26 type of frame that \Var{cp} is referring to.  For ordinary stack
     27 frames, it is normally possible to access only the preserved
     28 (``callee-saved'') registers and frame-related registers (such as the
     29 stack-pointer).  However, for signal frames (see
     30 \Func{unw\_is\_signal\_frame}(3)), it is usually possible to access
     31 all registers.
     32 
     33 Note that \Func{unw\_set\_fpreg}() can only write the contents of
     34 floating-point registers.  See \Func{unw\_set\_reg}(3) for a way to
     35 write registers which fit in a single word.
     36 
     37 \section{Return Value}
     38 
     39 On successful completion, \Func{unw\_set\_fpreg}() returns 0.
     40 Otherwise the negative value of one of the error-codes below is
     41 returned.
     42 
     43 \section{Thread and Signal Safety}
     44 
     45 \Func{unw\_set\_fpreg}() is thread-safe as well as safe to use
     46 from a signal handler.
     47 
     48 \section{Errors}
     49 
     50 \begin{Description}
     51 \item[\Const{UNW\_EUNSPEC}] An unspecified error occurred.
     52 \item[\Const{UNW\_EBADREG}] An attempt was made to write a register
     53   that is either invalid or not accessible in the current frame.
     54 \item[\Const{UNW\_EREADONLY}] An attempt was made to write to a
     55   read-only register.
     56 \end{Description}
     57 In addition, \Func{unw\_set\_fpreg}() may return any error returned by
     58 the \Func{access\_mem}(), \Func{access\_reg}(), and
     59 \Func{access\_fpreg}() call-backs (see
     60 \Func{unw\_create\_addr\_space}(3)).
