NAME
sigreturn - return from signal
SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h>
struct sigcontext {
int sc_onstack;
int sc_mask;
int sc_sp;
int sc_fp;
int sc_ap;
int sc_pc;
int sc_ps;
};
sigreturn(scp);
struct sigcontext *scp;
DESCRIPTION
Sigreturn allows users to atomically unmask, switch stacks,
and
return from a signal context. The processes signal mask and
stack
status are restored from the context. The system call does
not
return; the users stack pointer, frame pointer, argument
pointer,
and processor status longword are restored from the context.
Execution resumes at the specified pc. This system call is
used by
the trampoline code, and longjmp(3) when returning from a
signal to
the previously executing program.
NOTES
This system call is not available in 4.2BSD, hence it should
not be
used if backward compatibility is needed.
RETURN VALUE
If successful, the system call does not return. Otherwise, a
value
of -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the
error.
ERRORS
Sigreturn will fail and the process context will remain
unchanged
if one of the following occurs.
[EFAULT] Scp points to memory
that is not a valid part of the
process address space.
[EINVAL] The process status
longword is invalid or would
improperly raise the privilege level of the process.
