SIGLONGJMP(3P) POSIX Programmer's ManualSIGLONGJMP(3P)This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
siglongjmp — non-local goto with signal handling
#include <setjmp.h> void siglongjmp(sigjmp_bufenv, intval);
Thesiglongjmp() function shall be equivalent to thelongjmp() function, except as follows: * References tosetjmp() shall be equivalent tosigsetjmp(). * Thesiglongjmp() function shall restore the saved signal mask if and only if theenv argument was initialized by a call tosigsetjmp() with a non-zerosavemask argument.
Aftersiglongjmp() is completed, program execution shall continue as if the corresponding invocation ofsigsetjmp() had just returned the value specified byval. Thesiglongjmp() function shall not causesigsetjmp() to return 0; ifval is 0,sigsetjmp() shall return the value 1.
No errors are defined.The following sections are informative.
None.
The distinction betweensetjmp() orlongjmp() andsigsetjmp() orsiglongjmp() is only significant for programs which usesigaction(),sigprocmask(), orsigsuspend().
