Description

The ucontext_t structure used by signal handling, getcontext(2) and setcontext(2) includes a gregset_t that contains the state of the general registers when the context was saved. The ::regs ($r) dcmd will print the general registers for a thread in the attached process or core file, but it could also be used to print the same information from a ucontext_t.

We should add a flag, -u, causing ::regs to interpret the address as the location of a ucontext_t rather than a thread.
