Defintion of CONTEXT

[domenico.dileo@unina.it]

ok, but I would like to find out about the several
information to which is possible to access with CONTEXT.
For instance, CONTEXT->regs allows you to get the
value stored in some registers (I guess),
There are other fields, such as CONTEXT->regflags, CONTEXT->pi
and so on. Where can I find a full description (or definition)
of CONTEXT? What can I access to with CONTEXT?.
Thank you in advance.
