NAME

       fetestexcept() - test floating-point exceptions

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       The  function  determines which of a specified subset of the floating-point exception flags are currently set.  The excepts argument speci-
       fies the floating-point exception flags to be queried.  The argument can be constructed as a bitwise OR of the exception macros: and repre-
       sents all the floating-point exceptions.

USAGE

       To use this function, compile either with the default option or with the and options.  Make sure your program includes

       For  HP	Integrity  servers,  specify  on  the  compiler command line or place the call to this function under the effect of an affirmative
       pragma:

       If the pragma is placed outside of any top-level declarations in a file, the pragma will apply to all declarations in the compilation  fol-
       lowing the pragma until another pragma is encountered or until the end of the file is reached.

       If  the	pragma	is  placed  at the beginning of a block (compound statement), the pragma will apply until another pragma is encountered or
       until the end of the block is reached.

       For PA-RISC, you might need to use the compiler option in order to prevent optimizations that can undermine the specified behavior of  this
       function.

       Link in the math library by specifying on the compiler or linker command line.

RETURN VALUE

       The  function  returns  the  bitwise  OR  of  the exception macros corresponding to the currently set floating-point exceptions included in
       excepts.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.

EXAMPLES

       Call if invalid is set, then if overflow is set:
