|
|
.In ucontext.h
|
|
.Ft void
|
|
.Fo makecontext
|
|

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn makecontext
|
|
function
|
|
modifies the user thread context pointed to by
|
|
.Fa ucp ,
|
|
which must have previously been initialized by a call to
|
|
.Xr getcontext 3
|
|
and had a stack allocated for it.
|
|
The context is modified so that it will continue execution by invoking
|
|
.Fn func
|
|
with the arguments provided.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa argc
|
|
argument
|
|
must be equal to the number of additional arguments provided to
|
|
.Fn makecontext
|
|
and also equal to the number of arguments to
|
|
.Fn func ,
|
|
or else the behavior is undefined.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa "ucp->uc_link"
|
|
argument
|
|
must be initialized before calling
|
|
.Fn makecontext
|
|
and determines the action to take when
|
|
.Fn func
|
|
returns:
|
|
if equal to
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
the process exits;
|
|
otherwise,
|
|
.Fn setcontext "ucp->uc_link"
|
|
is implicitly invoked.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn swapcontext
|
|
function
|
|
saves the current thread context in
|
|
.Fa "*oucp"
|
|
and makes
|
|
.Fa "*ucp"
|
|
the currently active context.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If successful,
|
|
.Fn swapcontext
|
|
returns zero;
|
|
otherwise \-1 is returned and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set appropriately.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn swapcontext
|
|
function
|
|
will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
|
|
There is not enough stack space in
|
|
.Fa ucp
|
|
to complete the operation.
