68.Sh DESCRIPTION
69The
70.Fn sigsetjmp ,
71.Fn setjmp ,
72and
73.Fn _setjmp
74functions save their calling environment in
75.Fa env .
76Each of these functions returns 0.
77.Pp
78The corresponding
79.Fn longjmp
80functions restore the environment saved by their most recent respective
81invocations
82of the
83.Fn setjmp
84function.
85They then return so that program execution continues as if the corresponding
86invocation of the
87.Fn setjmp
88call had just returned  the value specified by
89.Fa val ,
90instead of 0.
91.Pp
92Pairs of calls may be intermixed, i.e. both
93.Fn sigsetjmp
94and
95.Fn siglongjmp
96and
97.Fn setjmp
98and
99.Fn longjmp
100combinations may be used in the same program, however, individual
101calls may not, e.g. the
102.Fa env
103argument to
104.Fn setjmp
105may not be passed to
106.Fn siglongjmp .
107.Pp
108The
109.Fn longjmp
110routines may not be called after the routine which called the
111.Fn setjmp
112routines returns.
113.Pp
114All accessible objects have values as of the time
115.Fn longjmp
116routine was called, except that the values of objects of automatic storage
117invocation duration that do not have the
118.Em volatile
119type and have been changed between the
120.Fn setjmp
121invocation and
122.Fn longjmp
123call are indeterminate.
124.Pp
125The
126.Fn setjmp Ns / Ns Fn longjmp
127pairs save and restore the signal mask while
128.Fn _setjmp Ns / Ns Fn _longjmp
129pairs save and restore only the register set and the stack.
130(See
131.Fn sigmask 2 . )
132.Pp
133The
134.Fn sigsetjmp Ns / Ns Fn siglongjmp
135function
136pairs save and restore the signal mask if the argument
137.Fa savemask
138is non-zero, otherwise only the register set and the stack are saved.
139.Sh ERRORS
140If the contents of the
141.Fa env
142are corrupted, or correspond to an environment that has already returned,
143the
144.Fn longjmp
145routine calls the routine
146.Fn longjmperror 3 .
147If
148.Fn longjmperror
149returns the program is aborted (see
150.Xr abort 2 ) .
151The default version of
152.Fn longjmperror
153prints the message
154.Dq Li longjmp botch
155to standard error and returns.
156User programs wishing to exit more gracefully should write their own
157versions of
158.Fn longjmperror .
