.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
#include <\fBucontext.h\fR>

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The  <\fBucontext.h\fR> header defines the \fBucontext_t\fR type as a structure that includes at least the following members:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
ucontext_t  uc_link
sigset_t    uc_sigmask
stack_t     uc_stack
mcontext_t  uc_mcontext
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
The \fBuc_link\fR member is a pointer to the context to be resumed when this context returns. If \fBuc_link\fR is equal to 0, this context is the main context and the process exits when this context returns.
.sp
.LP
The \fBuc_sigmask\fR member defines the set of signals that are blocked when this context is active. See \fBsigprocmask\fR(2).
.sp
.LP
The \fBuc_stack\fR member defines the stack used by this context. See \fBsigaltstack\fR(2).
.sp
.LP
The \fBuc_mcontext\fR member contains the saved set of machine registers and any implementation-specific context data. Portable applications should not modify or access \fBuc_mcontext\fR.
