SIGRETURN(2) MachTen Programmer’s Manual SIGRETURN(2)

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;
};

int
sigreturn(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 speci-
fied 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 4.2 BSD hence it should not be used
if backward compatibility is needed.

RETURN VALUES
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.
