NAMEucontext.h - user context
SYNOPSIS
#include <ucontext.h>
DESCRIPTION
The <ucontext.h> header shall define the mcontext_t type through type‐
def.
The <ucontext.h> header shall define the ucontext_t type as a structure
that shall include at least the following members:
ucontext_t *uc_link Pointer to the context that is resumed
when this context returns.
sigset_t uc_sigmask The set of signals that are blocked when this
context is active.
stack_t uc_stack The stack used by this context.
mcontext_t uc_mcontext A machine-specific representation of the saved
context.
The types sigset_t and stack_t shall be defined as in <signal.h> .
The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
macros, Function prototypes shall be provided.
int getcontext(ucontext_t *);
int setcontext(const ucontext_t *);
void makecontext(ucontext_t *, void (*)(void), int, ...);
int swapcontext(ucontext_t *restrict, const ucontext_t *restrict);
The following sections are informative.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
