| **const struct pt_asid \**asid*,**
| **uint64_t *ip*, void \**context*);**

| **void \**context*);**

# DESCRIPTION
**pt_image_set_callback**() sets the function pointed to by *callback* as the
read-memory callback function in the *pt_image* object pointed to by *image*.
Any previous read-memory callback function is replaced. The read-memory
callback function can be removed by passing NULL as *callback* argument.
When the Intel(R) Processor Trace (Intel PT) instruction flow decoder that is
using *image* tries to read memory from a location that is not contained in any
of the file sections in *image*, it calls the read-memory callback function with
the following arguments:
buffer
: A pre-allocated memory buffer to hold the to-be-read memory. The callback
function shall provide the read memory in that buffer.
size
: The size of the memory buffer pointed to by the *buffer* argument.
asid
: The address-space identifier specifying the process, guest, or hypervisor,
in which context the *ip* argument is to be interpreted. See
**pt_image_add_file**(3).
ip
: The virtual address from which *size* bytes of memory shall be read.
context
: The *context* argument passed to **pt_image_set_callback**().
The callback function shall return the number of bytes read on success (no more
than *size*) or a negative *pt_error_code* enumeration constant in case of an
error.
# RETURN VALUE
**pt_image_set_callback**() returns zero on success or a negative
*pt_error_code* enumeration constant in case of an error.
# ERRORS
pte_invalid
: If the *image* argument is NULL.
