+<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
+<p>
+The <strong>thread_swap_exception_ports</strong> function sets a specified
+set of exception 
+ports belonging to <var>thread</var>, returning the old set.
+<h3>NOTES</h3>
+<p>
+If the value of the <strong>EXC_MACH_SYSCALL</strong> exception class exception port is 
+the host name port, Mach kernel traps are executed by the kernel as expected; 
+any other value causes the attempted execution of these system call numbers to 
+be considered an exception.
+<p>
+A "protected" exception port is one which cannot be fetched and for which
+exception processing cannot be aborted (<strong>thread_abort</strong>).
+<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
+<dl>
+<p>
+<dt> <strong>KERN_EXCEPTION_PROTECTED</strong>
+<dd>
+One of the requested exception ports is protected and cannot be returned.
