NAME
_lwp_makecontext —
create a new initial light-weight
process execution context
LIBRARY
library “libc”
SYNOPSIS
#include
<lwp.h>
void
_lwp_makecontext(ucontext_t
*context, void
(*start_routine)(void *),
void *arg,
void *private,
caddr_t stack_base,
size_t stack_size);
DESCRIPTION
_lwp_makecontext()
initializes the context structure pointed to by context
in a manner suitable for using with
_lwp_create(2). The LWP will begin execution at the function
specified by start_routine which will be passed a single
argument arg. The LWP private data pointer will be set
to private. The stack region for the new LWP is
specified by the stack_base and
stack_size arguments.
The signal mask in the context structure
is not initialized by
_lwp_makecontext().
SEE ALSO
HISTORY
The _lwp_create() system call first
appeared in NetBSD 2.0.
BUGS
The LWP private data pointer is not initialized by the current
implementation of _lwp_makecontext().
