NAME

reset, setexit − execute non-local goto

SYNOPSIS

"setexit( )" "reset( )"

DESCRIPTION

These routines are useful for dealing with errors and interrupts encountered in a low-level subroutine of a program.  Setexit saves its stack environment in a static place for later use by reset.  Reset restores the environment saved by the last call of setexit.  It then returns in such a way that execution continues as if the call of setexit had just returned.  All accessible data have values as of the time reset was called.  The routine that called setexit must still be active when reset is called.
