What are .seh_* assembly commands that gcc outputs?

Question

I use gcc -S for a hello world program. What are the 5 .seh_ commands? I can't seem to find much info at all about them when I search.

    .file   "hi.c"
    .def    __main; .scl    2;  .type   32; .endef
    .section .rdata,"dr"
.LC0:
    .ascii "Hello World\0"
    .text
    .globl  main
    .def    main;   .scl    2;  .type   32; .endef
    .seh_proc   main
main:
    pushq   %rbp
    .seh_pushreg    %rbp
    movq    %rsp, %rbp
    .seh_setframe   %rbp, 0
    subq    $32, %rsp
    .seh_stackalloc 32
    .seh_endprologue
    call    __main
    leaq    .LC0(%rip), %rcx
    call    puts
    movl    $0, %eax
    addq    $32, %rsp
    popq    %rbp
    ret
    .seh_endproc
    .ident  "GCC: (rubenvb-4.8.0) 4.8.0"
    .def    puts;   .scl    2;  .type   32; .endef

Answer 1

I stopped them from being output by using:

gcc -S -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables hi.c

so I can look that up. But I'm happy with just not having them output anymore.
