62.Sh DESCRIPTION
63The
64.Fn sigsetjmp ,
65.Fn setjmp ,
66and
67.Fn _setjmp
68functions save their calling environment in
69.Fa env .
70Each of these functions returns 0.
71.Pp
72The corresponding
73.Fn longjmp
74functions restore the environment saved by their most recent respective
75invocations
76of the
77.Fn setjmp
78function.
79They then return so that program execution continues as if the corresponding
80invocation of the
81.Fn setjmp
82call had just returned the value specified by
83.Fa val ,
84instead of 0.
85.Pp
86Pairs of calls may be intermixed, i.e., both
87.Fn sigsetjmp
88and
89.Fn siglongjmp
90and
91.Fn setjmp
92and
93.Fn longjmp
94combinations may be used in the same program, however, individual
95calls may not, e.g.\& the
96.Fa env
97argument to
98.Fn setjmp
99may not be passed to
100.Fn siglongjmp .
101.Pp
102The
103.Fn longjmp
104routines may not be called after the routine which called the
105.Fn setjmp
106routines returns.
107.Pp
108All accessible objects have values as of the time
109.Fn longjmp
110routine was called, except that the values of objects of automatic storage
111invocation duration that do not have the
112.Vt volatile
113type and have been changed between the
114.Fn setjmp
115invocation and
116.Fn longjmp
117call are indeterminate.
118.Pp
119The
120.Fn setjmp Ns / Ns Fn longjmp
121pairs save and restore the signal mask while
122.Fn _setjmp Ns / Ns Fn _longjmp
123pairs save and restore only the register set and the stack.
124(See
125.Fn sigprocmask 2 . )
126.Pp
127The
128.Fn sigsetjmp Ns / Ns Fn siglongjmp
129function
130pairs save and restore the signal mask if the argument
131.Fa savemask
132is non-zero, otherwise only the register set and the stack are saved.
133.Sh ERRORS
134If the contents of the
135.Fa env
136are corrupted, or correspond to an environment that has already returned,
137the
138.Fn longjmp
139routine calls the routine
140.Fn longjmperror 3 .
141If
142.Fn longjmperror
143returns the program is aborted (see
144.Xr abort 3 ) .
145The default version of
146.Fn longjmperror
147prints the message
148.Dq Li longjmp botch
149to standard error and returns.
150User programs wishing to exit more gracefully should write their own
151versions of
152.Fn longjmperror .
