Upon successful completion, the value 0 is returned; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

[EINVAL]: Specified data length len was bigger than KTR_USER_MAXLEN.
[ENOMEM]: Insufficient memory to honor the request.
[ENOSYS]: Currently running kernel was compiled without ktrace(2) support (options KTRACE).

HISTORY

The utrace() system call first appeared in FreeBSD 2.2.
