31.Dt SETJMP 9
32.Os
33.Sh NAME
34.Nm setjmp ,
35.Nm longjmp
36.Nd non-local jumps
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.In machine/types.h
39.In sys/systm.h
40.Ft int
41.Fn setjmp "label_t *label"
42.Ft void
43.Fn longjmp "label_t *label"
44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45The
46.Fn setjmp
47function saves its calling environment in
48.Fa label .
49It returns zero on success.
50The
51.Fn longjmp
52function restores the environment saved by the most recent
53invocation of
54.Fn setjmp .
55It returns so that kernel execution continues as if
56the corresponding invocation of the
57.Fn setjmp
58had just returned.
59.Pp
60.Fn setjmp
61and
62.Fn longjmp
63are a machine-independent interface for machine-dependent
64implementations.
65.Pp
66These functions are primarily used by
67.Xr ddb 4 .
