.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In ucontext.h
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Vt ucontext_t
|
|
type is a structure type suitable for holding the context for a user
|
|
thread of execution.
|
|
A thread's context includes its stack, saved registers, and list of
|
|
blocked signals.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Vt ucontext_t
|
|
structure contains at least these fields:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Va mcontext_t\ \ uc_mcontext" -offset 3n -compact
|
|
.It Va "ucontext_t *uc_link"
|
|
context to assume when this one returns
|
|
.It Va "sigset_t uc_sigmask"
|
|
signals being blocked
|
|
.It Va "stack_t uc_stack"
|
|
stack area
|
|
.It Va "mcontext_t uc_mcontext"
|
|
saved registers
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Va uc_link
|
|
field points to the context to resume when this context's entry point
|
|
function returns.
|
|
If
|
|
.Va uc_link
|
|
is equal to
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
then the process exits when this context returns.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Va uc_mcontext
|
|
field is machine-dependent and should be treated as opaque by
|
|
portable applications.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following functions are defined to manipulate
|
|
.Vt ucontext_t
|
|
structures:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
