DESCRIPTION

      The <ucontext.h> header shall define the mcontext_t type through typedef.
 
      The <ucontext.h> header shall define the ucontext_t type as a structure that shall include at least the following
      members:
 
             ucontext_t *uc_link     Pointer to the context that is resumed
                                     when this context returns.
             sigset_t    uc_sigmask  The set of signals that are blocked when this
                                     context is active.
             stack_t     uc_stack    The stack used by this context.
             mcontext_t  uc_mcontext A machine-specific representation of the saved
                                     context.
 
      The types sigset_t and stack_t shall be defined as in <signal.h> .
 
      The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as macros, Function prototypes shall be pro-
      vided.
 
             int  getcontext(ucontext_t *);
             int  setcontext(const ucontext_t *);
             void makecontext(ucontext_t *, void (*)(void), int, ...);
             int  swapcontext(ucontext_t *restrict, const ucontext_t *restrict);
 
      The following sections are informative.
