NAME

       fegetround, fesetround - get and set current rounding direction

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ]
       #include <fenv.h>

       int fegetround(void);

       int fesetround(int round);

DESCRIPTION

       The fegetround function gets the current rounding direction.

       The  fesetround function establishes the rounding direction represented by its argument round. If the argument is not equal to the value of
       a rounding direction macro, the rounding direction is not changed.

RETURN VALUES

       The fegetround function returns the value of the rounding direction macro representing the current rounding direction, or a negative  value
       if there is no such rounding direction macro or the current rounding direction is not determinable.

       The fesetround function returns a 0 value if and only if the requested rounding direction was established.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.

EXAMPLES

       The  following  example saves, sets, and restores the rounding direction, reporting an error and aborting if setting the rounding direction
       fails:

       Example 1: Save, set, and restore the rounding direction.

       #include <fenv.h>
       #include <assert.h>
       void f(int round_dir)
       {
	     #pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON
	     int save_round;
	     int setround_ok;
	     save_round = fegetround();
	     setround_ok = fesetround(round_dir);
	     assert(setround_ok == 0);
	     /* ... */
	     fesetround(save_round);
	     /* ... */
       }
