+\section{Description}
+
+The \Func{unw\_apply\_reg\_state}() routine updates the register values
+of a cursor according to the instructions in \Var{reg\_states\_data},
+which have been obtained by calling \Var{unw\_reg\_states\_iterate}.
+
+\section{Return Value}
+
+On successful completion, \Func{unw\_apply\_reg\_state}() returns 0.
+Otherwise the negative value of one of the error-codes below is
+returned.
+
+\section{Thread and Signal Safety}
+
+\Func{unw\_apply\_reg\_state}() is thread-safe. If cursor \Var{cp} is
+in the local address-space, this routine is also safe to use from a
+signal handler.
+
+\section{Errors}

+\item[\Const{UNW\_EBADVERSION}] The unwind-info for the procedure has
+ version or format that is not understood by \Prog{libunwind}.
+\end{Description}

+\begin{Name}{3}{unw\_reg\_states\_iterate}{David Mosberger-Tang}{Programming Library}{unw\_reg\_states\_iterate}unw\_reg\_states\_iterate -- get register state info on current procedure
+\end{Name}
+
+\section{Synopsis}
+
+\File{\#include $<$libunwind.h$>$}\\
+
+\Type{int} \Func{unw\_reg\_states\_iterate}(\Type{unw\_cursor\_t~*}\Var{cp}, \Type{unw\_reg\_states\_callback}\Var{cb}, \Type{void~*}\Var{token});\\
+
+\section{Description}
+
+The \Func{unw\_reg\_states\_iterate}() routine provides
+information about the procedure that created the stack frame
+identified by argument \Var{cp}. The \Var{cb} argument is a pointer
+to a function of type \Type{unw\_reg\_states\_callback} which is used to
+return the information. The function \Type{unw\_reg\_states\_callback} has the
+following definition:
+
+\Type{int} (~*\Var{unw\_reg\_states\_callback})(\Type{void~*}\Var{token},
+ \Type{void~*}\Var{reg\_states\_data},
+ \Type{size\_t} \Var{reg\_states\_data\_size},
+ \Type{unw\_word\_t} \Var{start\_ip}, \Type{unw\_word\_t} \Var{end\_ip});
+
+The callback function may be invoked several times for each call of \Func{unw\_reg\_states\_iterate}. Each call is associcated with a instruction address range and a set of instructions on how to update register values when returning from the procedure in that address range. For each invocation, the arguments to the callback function are:
+\begin{description}
+\item[\Type{void~*} \Var{token}] The token value passed to \Var{unw\_reg\_states\_callback}. \\
+\item[\Type{void~*} \Var{reg\_states\_data}] A pointer to data about
+ updating register values. This data, or a copy of it, can be passed
+ to \Var{unw\_apply\_reg\_state}.\\
+\item[\Type{int} \Var{reg\_states\_data\_size}] The size of the register update data. \\
+\item[\Type{unw\_word\_t} \Var{start\_ip}] The address of the first
+ instruction of the address range. \\
+\item[\Type{unw\_word\_t} \Var{end\_ip}] The address of the first
+ instruction \emph{beyond} the end of the address range. \\
+\end{description}
+
+\section{Return Value}
+
+On successful completion, \Func{unw\_reg\_states\_iterate}() returns
+0. If the callback function returns a nonzero value, that indicates
+failure and the function returns immediately. Otherwise the negative
+value of one of the error-codes below is returned.
+
+\section{Thread and Signal Safety}
+
+\Func{unw\_reg\_states\_iterate}() is thread-safe. If cursor \Var{cp} is
+in the local address-space, this routine is also safe to use from a
+signal handler.
+
+\section{Errors}
+
+\begin{Description}
+\item[\Const{UNW\_EUNSPEC}] An unspecified error occurred.
+\item[\Const{UNW\_ENOINFO}] \Prog{Libunwind} was unable to locate
+ unwind-info for the procedure.
+\item[\Const{UNW\_EBADVERSION}] The unwind-info for the procedure has
+ version or format that is not understood by \Prog{libunwind}.

+In addition, \Func{unw\_reg\_states\_iterate}() may return any error
+returned by the \Func{access\_mem}() call-back (see
