getsregs thread

Explanation
It retrieves the scalar register contents from the RCP co-processor. Specifically, it sends a message requesting the contents of the co-processor scalar registers from the target system by way of the dbgif tool and then displays the register contents (in hex) on stdout. The contents of certain CP0 registers (such as the program counter) are also displayed. The thread argument is required, but meaningless. Choose your favorite integer.

Because the target system ignores the specified value, it does not need to be changed to the "correct" value of one, indicating that this is a request for the co-processor. The environment variable does need to be set so that a value can be supplied as part of the request packet. In csh, this is accomplished by specifying:
