ucontext.h — user context


#include <ucontext.h>

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

The <ucontext.h> header shall define the 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 and 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);
