Summary
Query information about an object.
Declaration
#include <zircon/syscalls.h>
zx_status_t zx_object_get_info(zx_handle_t handle,
uint32_t topic,
void* buffer,
size_t buffer_size,
size_t* actual,
size_t* avail);
Description
zx_object_get_info()
requests information about the provided handle (or the
object the handle refers to). The topic parameter indicates what specific
information is desired.
buffer is a pointer to a buffer of size buffer_size to return the information.
actual is an optional pointer to return the number of records that were written to buffer.
avail is an optional pointer to return the number of records that are available to read.
If the buffer is insufficiently large, avail will be larger than actual.
TOPICS
ZX_INFO_HANDLE_VALID
handle type: Any
buffer type: n/a
Returns ZX_OK
if handle is valid, or ZX_ERR_BAD_HANDLE
otherwise. No
records are returned and buffer may be NULL.
ZX_INFO_HANDLE_BASIC
handle type: Any
buffer type: zx_info_handle_basic_t[1]
typedef struct zx_info_handle_basic {
// The unique id assigned by kernel to the object referenced by the
// handle.
zx_koid_t koid;
// The immutable rights assigned to the handle. Two handles that
// have the same koid and the same rights are equivalent and
// interchangeable.
zx_rights_t rights;
// The object type: channel, event, socket, etc.
uint32_t type; // zx_obj_type_t;
// If the object referenced by the handle is related to another (such
// as the other end of a channel, or the parent of a job) then
// |related_koid| is the koid of that object, otherwise it is zero.
// This relationship is immutable: an object's |related_koid| does
// not change even if the related object no longer exists.
zx_koid_t related_koid;
} zx_info_handle_basic_t;
ZX_INFO_HANDLE_COUNT
handle type: Any
buffer type: zx_info_handle_count_t[1]
typedef struct zx_info_handle_count {
// The number of outstanding handles to a kernel object.
uint32_t handle_count;
} zx_info_handle_count_t;
The handle_count should only be used as a debugging aid. Do not use it to check that an untrusted processes cannot modify a kernel object. Due to asynchronous nature of the system scheduler, there might be a time window during which it is possible for an object to be modified by a previous handle owner even as the last handle is transferred from one process to another.
ZX_INFO_PROCESS_HANDLE_STATS
handle type: Process
buffer type: zx_info_process_handle_stats_t[1]
typedef struct zx_info_process_handle_stats {
// The number of outstanding handles to kernel objects of each type.
uint32_t handle_count[ZX_OBJ_TYPE_UPPER_BOUND];
} zx_info_process_handle_stats_t;
ZX_INFO_HANDLE_TABLE
handle type: Process
buffer type: zx_info_handle_extended_t[n]
Returns an array of zx_info_handle_extended_t
one for each handle in the
Process at the moment of the call. The kernel ensures that the handles returned
are consistent.
typedef struct zx_info_handle_extended {
// The object type: channel, event, socket, etc.
zx_obj_type_t type;
// The handle value, which is only valid for the process that
// was passed to ZX_INFO_HANDLE_TABLE.
zx_handle_t handle_value;
// The immutable rights assigned to the handle. Two handles that
// have the same koid and the same rights are equivalent and
// interchangeable.
zx_rights_t rights;
uint32_t reserved;
// The unique id assigned by kernel to the object referenced by the
// handle.
zx_koid_t koid;
// If the object referenced by the handle is related to another (such
// as the other end of a channel, or the parent of a job) then
// |related_koid| is the koid of that object, otherwise it is zero.
// This relationship is immutable: an object's |related_koid| does
// not change even if the related object no longer exists.
zx_koid_t related_koid;
// If the object referenced by the handle has a peer, like the
// other end of a channel, then this is the koid of the process
// which currently owns it.
zx_koid_t peer_owner_koid;
} zx_info_handle_extended_t;
Note that a process might have live references to objects for which the process does not have a handle to. For example, running threads for which all handles have been closed.
ZX_INFO_JOB
handle type: Job
buffer type: zx_info_job_t[1]
typedef struct zx_info_job {
// The job's return code; only valid if |exited| is true.
// If the code is valid, it will be one of the ZX_TASK_RETCODE values.
int64_t return_code;
// If true, the job has exited and |return_code| is valid.
// Killing a job is the only way for a job to exit.
bool exited;
// True if the ZX_PROP_JOB_KILL_ON_OOM property was set.
bool kill_on_oom;
// True if a debugger is attached to the job.
bool debugger_attached;
} zx_info_job_t;
Note that |exited| will immediately report that the job has exited following a |zx_task_kill| or equivalent (e.g. an OOM kill), but child jobs and processes may still be in the process of exiting.
ZX_INFO_PROCESS
handle type: Process
buffer type: zx_info_process_t[1]
typedef struct zx_info_process {
// The process's return code; only valid if the
// |ZX_PROCESS_INFO_FLAG_EXITED| flag is set. If the process was killed, it
// will be one of the |ZX_TASK_RETCODE| values.
int64_t return_code;
// The monotonic time at which `zx_process_start()` was called, only valid
// if the |ZX_INFO_PROCESS_FLAG_STARTED| flag is set.
zx_instant_mono_t start_time;
// Bitwise OR of ZX_INFO_PROCESS_FLAG_* values.
uint32_t flags;
} zx_info_process_t;
Note that |flags| will immediately report that the process has exited (i.e. it will contain ZX_INFO_PROCESS_FLAG_EXITED) following a |zx_task_kill|, but child threads may still be in the process of exiting.
ZX_INFO_PROCESS_THREADS
handle type: Process
buffer type: zx_koid_t[n]
Returns an array of zx_koid_t
, one for each running thread in the Process at
that moment in time.
N.B. Getting the list of threads is inherently racy. This can be somewhat mitigated by first suspending all the threads, but note that an external thread can create new threads. actual will contain the number of threads returned in buffer. avail will contain the total number of threads of the process at the time the list of threads was obtained, it could be larger than actual.
ZX_INFO_THREAD
handle type: Thread
buffer type: zx_info_thread_t[1]
typedef struct zx_info_thread {
// One of ZX_THREAD_STATE_* values.
uint32_t state;
// If |state| is ZX_THREAD_STATE_BLOCKED_EXCEPTION, the thread has gotten
// an exception and is waiting for the exception to be handled by the
// specified channel.
// The value is one of ZX_EXCEPTION_CHANNEL_TYPE_*.
uint32_t wait_exception_channel_type;
// CPUs this thread may be scheduled on, as specified by
// a profile object applied to this thread.
//
// The kernel may not internally store invalid CPUs in the mask, so
// this may not exactly match the mask applied to the thread for
// CPUs beyond what the system is able to use.
zx_cpu_set_t cpu_affinity_mask;
} zx_info_thread_t;
The values in this struct are mainly for informational and debugging purposes at the moment.
The various ZX_THREAD_STATE_
values are defined by
#include <zircon/syscalls/object.h>

.
Returns ZX_ERR_BAD_STATE
if the thread is not in an exception and waiting
for an exception response.

Topic ZX_INFO_IOB
handle type: IOBuffer
buffer type: zx_info_iob_t[1]

Return value
zx_object_get_info()
returns ZX_OK
on success. In the event of failure, a
negative error value is returned.
Errors
ZX_ERR_BAD_HANDLE
handle is not a valid handle.
ZX_ERR_WRONG_TYPE
handle is not an appropriate type for topic
ZX_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED
: If handle does not have the necessary rights for the
operation.
ZX_ERR_INVALID_ARGS
buffer, actual, or avail are invalid pointers.
ZX_ERR_NO_MEMORY
Failure due to lack of memory. There is no good way for
userspace to handle this (unlikely) error. In a future build this error will no
longer occur.
ZX_ERR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL
The topic returns a fixed number of records, but
the provided buffer is not large enough for these records.
ZX_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED
topic does not exist.
