ucontext.h - user context

#include <ucontext.h>

The <ucontext.h> header shall define the mcontext_t type through typedef.

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);
