65.Sh DESCRIPTION
66The
67.Fn sigsetjmp ,
68.Fn setjmp ,
69and
70.Fn _setjmp
71functions save their calling environment in
72.Fa env .
73Each of these functions returns 0.
74.Pp
75The corresponding
76.Fn longjmp
77functions restore the environment saved by their most recent respective
78invocations
79of the
80.Fn setjmp
81function.
82They then return so that program execution continues as if the corresponding
83invocation of the
84.Fn setjmp
85call had just returned the value specified by
86.Fa val ,
87instead of 0.
88.Pp
89Pairs of calls may be intermixed, i.e., both
90.Fn sigsetjmp
91and
92.Fn siglongjmp
93and
94.Fn setjmp
95and
96.Fn longjmp
97combinations may be used in the same program, however, individual
98calls may not, e.g.\& the
99.Fa env
100argument to
101.Fn setjmp
102may not be passed to
103.Fn siglongjmp .
104.Pp
105The
106.Fn longjmp
107routines may not be called after the routine which called the
108.Fn setjmp
109routines returns.
110.Pp
111All accessible objects have values as of the time
112.Fn longjmp
113routine was called, except that the values of objects of automatic storage
114invocation duration that do not have the
115.Vt volatile
116type and have been changed between the
117.Fn setjmp
118invocation and
119.Fn longjmp
120call are indeterminate.
121.Pp
122The
123.Fn setjmp Ns / Ns Fn longjmp
124pairs save and restore the signal mask while
125.Fn _setjmp Ns / Ns Fn _longjmp
126pairs save and restore only the register set and the stack.
127(See
128.Fn sigprocmask 2 . )
129.Pp
130The
131.Fn sigsetjmp Ns / Ns Fn siglongjmp
132function
133pairs save and restore the signal mask if the argument
134.Fa savemask
135is non-zero, otherwise only the register set and the stack are saved.
136.Sh ERRORS
137If the contents of the
138.Fa env
139are corrupted, or correspond to an environment that has already returned,
140the
141.Fn longjmp
142routine calls the routine
143.Fn longjmperror 3 .
144If
145.Fn longjmperror
146returns the program is aborted (see
147.Xr abort 3 ) .
148The default version of
149.Fn longjmperror
150prints the message
151.Dq Li longjmp botch
152to standard error and returns.
153User programs wishing to exit more gracefully should write their own
154versions of
155.Fn longjmperror .
