Inspect/Manipulate threads of debugged process.

Function Documentation

get_thread_qty()

int idaapi get_thread_qty ( void )

inline

Get number of threads.

Type	Synchronous function
Notification	none (synchronous function)

getn_thread()

thid_t idaapi getn_thread ( int n )

inline

Get the ID of a thread.

Type	Synchronous function
Notification	none (synchronous function)

Parameters

n	number of thread, is in range 0..get_thread_qty()-1

Returns

#NO_THREAD if the thread doesn't exist.

get_current_thread()

thid_t idaapi get_current_thread ( void )

inline

Get current thread ID.

Type	Synchronous function
Notification	none (synchronous function)

getn_thread_name()

const char *idaapi getn_thread_name ( int n )

inline

Get the NAME of a thread.

Type	Synchronous function
Notification	none (synchronous function)

Parameters

n	number of thread, is in range 0..get_thread_qty()-1 or -1 for the current thread

Returns

thread name or nullptr if the thread doesn't exist.

select_thread()

bool idaapi select_thread ( thid_t tid )

inline

Select the given thread as the current debugged thread.

All thread related execution functions will work on this thread. The process must be suspended to select a new thread.

Type	Synchronous function - available as request
Notification	none (synchronous function)

Parameters

tid	ID of the thread to select

Returns

false if the thread doesn't exist.

request_select_thread()

bool idaapi request_select_thread ( thid_t tid )

inline

Post a select_thread() request.

suspend_thread()

int idaapi suspend_thread ( thid_t tid )

inline

Suspend thread.

Suspending a thread may deadlock the whole application if the suspended was owning some synchronization objects.

Type	Synchronous function - available as request
Notification	none (synchronous function)

Parameters

tid

thread id

Return values

-1	network error
0	failed
1	ok

request_suspend_thread()

int idaapi request_suspend_thread ( thid_t tid )

inline

Post a suspend_thread() request.

resume_thread()

int idaapi resume_thread ( thid_t tid )

inline

Resume thread.

Type	Synchronous function - available as request
Notification	none (synchronous function)

Parameters

tid

thread id

Return values

-1	network error
0	failed
1	ok

request_resume_thread()

int idaapi request_resume_thread ( thid_t tid )

inline

Post a resume_thread() request.
