/* sigmask_longjmp.c

   Demonstrate the different effects of longjmp() and siglongjmp()
   on the process signal mask.

   By default, this program uses setjmp() + longjmp(). Compile with
   -DUSE_SIGSETJMP to use sigsetjmp() + siglongjmp().

Note that, in most cases, the programs rendered in these web pages are not free standing: you'll typically also need a few other source files (mostly in the lib/ subdirectory) as well. Generally, it's easier to just download the entire source tarball and build the programs with make(1). By hovering your mouse over the various hyperlinked include files and function calls above, you can see which other source files this file depends on.
