Synopsis
int setjmp(jmp_buf env);
Description

setjmp saves its calling environment in the env for later use by the longjmp function.

On return from a direct invocation setjmp returns the value zero. On return from a call to the longjmp function, the setjmp returns a nonzero value determined by the call to longjmp.

The environment saved by a call to setjmp consists of information sufficient for a call to the longjmp function to return execution to the correct block and invocation of that block, were it called recursively.
