#include <ucontext.h>
This structure includes at least the following members:
ucontext_t *uc_link sigset_t uc_sigmask stack_t uc_stack mcontext_t uc_mcontext
uc_link is a pointer to the context that is to be resumed when this context returns. If uc_link is equal to 0, then this context is the main context, and the process exits when this context returns. The uc_link field is only meaningful for contexts created using makecontext.
uc_sigmask defines the set of signals that are blocked when this context is active [see sigprocmask(2)].
uc_stack defines the stack used by this context [see sigaltstack(2)].
uc_mcontext contains the saved set of machine registers and any implementation specific context data. Portable applications should not modify or access uc_mcontext.
The ucontext structure has been enhanced to handle floating point context information for Pentium III processors. See ``Pentium III extended floating point support'' in New features for more information.
