  18 The  <\fBucontext.h\fR> header defines the \fBucontext_t\fR type as a structure
  19 that includes at least the following members:
  20 .sp
  21 .in +2
  22 .nf
  23 ucontext_t  uc_link

  30 .sp
  31 .LP
  32 The \fBuc_link\fR member is a pointer to the context that to be resumed when
  33 this context returns. If \fBuc_link\fR is equal to 0, this context is the main
  34 context and the process exits when this context returns.
  35 .sp
  36 .LP
  37 The \fBuc_sigmask\fR member defines the set of signals that are blocked when
  38 this context is active. See \fBsigprocmask\fR(2).
  39 .sp
  40 .LP
  41 The \fBuc_stack\fR member defines the stack used by this context. See
  42 \fBsigaltstack\fR(2).
  43 .sp
  44 .LP
  45 The \fBuc_mcontext\fR member contains the saved set of machine registers and




  46 any implementation-specific context data. Portable applications should not
  47 modify or access \fBuc_mcontext\fR.

  17 header defines the
  18 .Ft ucontext_t
  19 type as a structure that includes at least the following members:

  27 The
  28 .Fa uc_link
  29 member is a pointer to the context that to be resumed when
  30 this context returns. If
  31 .Fa uc_link
  32 is equal to 0, this context is the main

  33 context and the process exits when this context returns.
  34 .Lp
  35 The
  36 .Fa uc_sigmask
  37 member defines the set of signals that are blocked when
  38 this context is active. See
  39 .Xr sigprocmask 2 .
  40 .Lp
  41 The
  42 .Fa uc_stack
  43 member defines the stack used by this context. See
  44 .Xr sigaltstack 2 .
