NAME

       feraiseexcept - raise floating-point exception

SYNOPSIS

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

       int feraiseexcept(int excepts);

DESCRIPTION

       The  feraiseexcept()  function  attempts to raise the supported floating-point exceptions represented by the excepts argument. The order in
       which these floating-point exceptions are raised is unspecified.

RETURN VALUES

       If excepts is 0 or if all the specified exceptions were successfully raised, feraiseexcept() returns 0. Otherwise, it  returns  a  non-zero
       value.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.

USAGE

       The  effect is intended to be similar to that of floating-point exceptions raised by arithmetic operations. Hence, enabled traps for float-
       ing-point exceptions raised by this function are taken.
