man -s 4 proc

I do not use C. I use Modula-2. My own compiler in fact.

The proc file system has a host of functions for debugging a process.
Read the man page. In short you would use the PCRUN code with the PRSTEP
flag. This code is written to the appropriate "file" handle. Typically
this is done on s specific LWP, but can be done to a process. In that
case, whatever the current LWP was is acted upon.
