FEGETENV(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 					       FEGETENV(3)

NAME

     fegetenv, feholdexcept, fesetenv, feupdateenv -- functions providing access to the floating-point environment.

SYNOPSIS

     #include <fenv.h>
     #pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON

     int
     fegetenv(fenv_t *envp);

     int
     feholdexcept(fenvt_t *envp);

     int
     fesetenv(fenv_t *envp);

     int
     feupdateenv(fenv_t *envp);

DESCRIPTION

     These functions provide the means to manage the entire floating-point environment--including both status flags and control modes--as a single
     entity.

     The fegetenv() function attempts to store the current floating-point environment in the object pointed to by envp.  It returns zero if the
     environment was successfully stored, and a nonzero value otherwise.

     The feholdexcept() function saves the current floating-point environment in the object pointed to by envp, clears the floating-point status
     flags, and then installs a "non-stop" mode, if available, under which no traps are taken for floating-point exceptions (as is the case in
     default IEEE-754 floating-point execution).  It returns zero if and only if such a mode was successfully installed.

     The fesetenv() function attempts to establish the floating-point environment represented by the object pointed to by envp.  This object shall
     have been set by a call to fegetenv() or feholdexcept(), or be equal to a floating-point environment macro defined in <fenv.h>.  Note that
     this function merely installs the floating-point status flags represented by its argument, and does not raise the corresponding floating-
     point exceptions.	It returns zero if and only if the environment pointed to by envp was successfully installed.

     The feupdateenv() function attempts to save the currently raised floating-point flags, install the floating-point environment represented by
     *envp, and then raise the floating-point exceptions corresponding to the saved flags.  The object pointed to by envp shall have been set by a
     call to fegetenv() or feholdexcept(), or be equal to a floating-point environment macro defined in <fenv.h>.  It returns zero if and only if
     all of the specified actions were successfully carried out.
