+.Dt PGET 9
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm pget
+.Nd locate a process by number
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/param.h
+.In sys/proc.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn pget "pid_t pid" "int flags" "struct proc **pp"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This function
+takes a
+.Fa pid
+as its argument,
+which can be either a process or thread id,
+and fills a pointer to the
+.Vt proc
+structure in
+.Fa *pp .
+In the latter case, a process owning the specified thread is looked for.
+The actual operation is performed by invoking the
+.Xr pfind 9
+function.
+The found process is returned locked.
+Only for
+.Dv PGET_HOLD
+case it is returned unlocked (but held).
+The
+.Fn pget
+function can
+perform additional manipulations, depending on a
+.Fa flags
+argument.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa flags
+argument is the logical OR of some subset of:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Dv PGET_NOTINEXEC"
+.It Dv PGET_HOLD
+If set, the found process will be referenced and unlocked.
+.It Dv PGET_CANSEE
+If set, the found process will be checked for its visibility.
+See
+.Xr p_cansee 9 .
+.It Dv PGET_CANDEBUG
+If set, the found process will be checked for its debuggability.
+See
+.Xr p_candebug 9 .
+.It Dv PGET_ISCURRENT
+If set, the found process will be checked that it matches the current
+process context.
+.It Dv PGET_NOTWEXIT
+If set, the found process will be checked that it does not have the process
+flag
+.Dv P_WEXIT
+set.
+.It Dv PGET_NOTINEXEC
+If set, the found process will be checked that it does not have the process
+flag
+.Dv P_INEXEC
+set.
+.It Dv PGET_NOTID
+If set,
+.Fa pid
+is not assumed as a thread id for values larger than
+.Dv PID_MAX .
+.It Dv PGET_WANTREAD
+A shorthand for
+.Pq Dv PGET_HOLD | PGET_CANDEBUG | PGET_NOTWEXIT .
+.El
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+If the process is found in the specified way, then zero is returned,
+otherwise an appropriate error code is returned.
