sigvec(2) references have been updated to sigaction(2), sigsetmask(2) and sigblock(2) to sigprocmask(2), sigpause(2) to sigsuspend(2). Some legacy man pages still refer to them, that is OK.

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In signal.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn sigreturn "const ucontext_t *scp"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sigreturn
|
|
system call
|
|
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 structure pointed to by
|
|
.Fa scp .
|
|
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
|
|
.Xr longjmp 3
|
|
when returning from a signal to the previously executing program.
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
This system call is not available in
|
|
.Bx 4.2
|
|
hence it should not be used if backward compatibility is needed.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If successful, the system call does not return.
|
|
Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sigreturn
|
|
system call
|
|
will fail and the process context will remain unchanged
|
|
if one of the following occurs.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EFAULT
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa scp
|
|
argument
|
|
points to memory that is not a valid part of the process
|
|
address space.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The process status longword is invalid or would improperly
|
|
raise the privilege level of the process.
