PR_SET_UNALIGN - set unaligned access control bits
Contents
Description
Set unaligned access control bits to arg2.
Pass PR_UNALIGN_NOPRINT to silently fix up unaligned user accesses, or PR_UNALIGN_SIGBUS to generate
SIGBUS on unaligned user access.
Alpha also supports an additional flag with the value of 4 and no corresponding named constant, which
instructs kernel to not fix up unaligned accesses (it is analogous to providing the UAC_NOFIX flag in
SSI_NVPAIRS operation of the setsysinfo() system call on Tru64).
Errors
EINVALflag is not a valid value.
