<ucontext.h>(0P)           POSIX Programmer's Manual          <ucontext.h>(0P)

NAME
       ucontext.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.
