|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.BR setjmp ()
|
|
and
|
|
.BR longjmp (3)
|
|
are useful for dealing with errors
|
|
and interrupts encountered in a low-level subroutine of a program.
|
|
.BR setjmp ()
|
|
saves the stack context/environment in \fIenv\fP for
|
|
later use by
|
|
.BR longjmp (3).
|
|
The stack context will be invalidated
|
|
if the function which called
|
|
.BR setjmp ()
|
|
returns.
|
|
.P
|
|
.BR sigsetjmp ()
|
|
is similar to
|
|
.BR setjmp ().
|
|
If \fIsavesigs\fP is non-zero,
|
|
the set of blocked signals is saved in \fIenv\fP and will be restored
|
|
if a
|
|
.BR siglongjmp (3)
|
|
is later performed with this \fIenv\fP.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
.BR setjmp ()
|
|
and
|
|
.BR sigsetjmp ()
|
|
return 0 if returning directly, and
|
|
non-zero when returning from
|
|
.BR longjmp (3)
|
|
using the saved context.
|
|
.SH "CONFORMING TO"
|
|
C89, C99, and POSIX.1-2001 specify
|
|
.BR setjmp ().
|
|
POSIX.1-2001 specifies
|
|
.BR sigsetjmp ().
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
POSIX does not specify whether
|
|
.BR setjmp ()
|
|
will save the
|
|
signal context.
|
|
(In System V it will not.
|
|
In 4.3BSD it will, and there
|
|
is a function \fB_setjmp\fP that will not.)
|
|
If you want to save signal masks, use
|
|
.BR sigsetjmp ().
|
|
.P
|
|
.BR setjmp ()
|
|
and
|
|
.BR sigsetjmp ()
|
|
make programs hard to understand
|
|
and maintain.
|
|
If possible an alternative should be used.
