start_routine and entry are the functions that run in the newly created threads. context.uc_stack and stack are pointers to the stack of the newly created threads. argument and arg are pointers to the arguments of start_routine and entry, respectively. context and ctx are the contexts in which the new threads run. return_value and prv are both pointers to the values returned by the thread functions.
