GETCONTEXT(3)            BSD Library Functions Manual            GETCONTEXT(3)

NAME
     getcontext, setcontext -- get and set user thread context

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <ucontext.h>

     int
     getcontext(ucontext_t *ucp);

     int
     setcontext(const ucontext_t *ucp);

DESCRIPTION
     The getcontext() function saves the current thread's execution context in the structure pointed to by
     ucp.  This saved context may then later be restored by calling setcontext().

     The setcontext() function makes a previously saved thread context the current thread context, i.e., the
     current context is lost and setcontext() does not return.  Instead, execution continues in the context
     specified by ucp, which must have been previously initialized by a call to getcontext(),
     makecontext(3), or by being passed as an argument to a signal handler (see sigaction(2)).

     If ucp was initialized by getcontext(), then execution continues as if the original getcontext() call
     had just returned (again).

     If ucp was initialized by makecontext(3), execution continues with the invocation of the function spec-ified specified
     ified to makecontext(3).  When that function returns, ucp->uc_link determines what happens next: if
     ucp->uc_link is NULL, the process exits; otherwise, setcontext(ucp->uc_link) is implicitly invoked.

     If ucp was initialized by the invocation of a signal handler, execution continues at the point the
     thread was interrupted by the signal.

RETURN VALUES
     If successful, getcontext() returns zero and setcontext() does not return; otherwise -1 is returned.

ERRORS
     No errors are defined for getcontext() or setcontext().
